background: plants are among promising and suitable platform systems for production of recombinant biopharmaceutical proteins due to several features such as safety, no need for fermentation, inexpensive investment, and fast and easy scale-up. human insulin is one of the most widely used medicines in the world. up to now different expression systems including escherichia coli, yeast and cho hav...

ischemia-reperfusion injury is the tissue damage caused when blood supply returns to the tissue after a period of ischemia or lack of oxygen. ischemia-reperfusion brain injury initiates an inflammatory response involving the expression of adhesion molecules and cytokines. twenty–four male wistar rats (250-300 g body wt) were used in this study. the animals were divided into four groups of 6 rat...

the tlr4 gene structure as the main receptor for lipopolysaccharide recognition of gram-negative bacteria was investigated in two strains of iranian commercial arian line and west azerbaijan native chicks and its expression was studied in some major organs. blood samples of the 120 birds were taken and total dnas extracted. then, the target gene was sequenced using four pairs of primers on four...

objective: rna interference (rnai) is the most potent technique for gene silencing in eukaryotic cellular system at transcriptomic level. genetic disorders and cancers are important targets for therapeutic development of this technique. in order to bypass the temporary dpwnregulation by sirna, a new generation of shrna named shrnamir has developed. silencing construct with structure similar to ...

Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) is a very dangerous livestock disease which causes a serious loss in the production of milk and meat. Therefore, producing an effective recombinant subunit vaccine virus this disease is of great importance. Transient gene expression is a valuable tool to reach rapid and acceptable recombinant vaccine. An Agrobacterium-mediated transient gene expression assay was car...

introduction: transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (trpv1) and protein kinase cγ (pkcγ) are involved in sensitization/desensitization to noxious stimuli. we aimed to examine the gene expression levels of trpv1 and pkcγ in rat lumbosacral cord and midbrain on days 1, 4 and 8 of induction of morphine analgesic tolerance. methods: two groups of male wistar rats received twice daily saline...
