Avian Pasteurella multocida is the causative agent of fowl cholera, a disease much affecting the poultry industry. In order to study the efficacy of the recombinant subunit vaccine constructed with ptfA gene of avian P. multocida, the ptfA gene fragment amplified by PCR from avian P. multocida was cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pET32a and the recombinant plasmid pET32a-ptfA was o...

background : echinococcosis or hydatidosis is a chronic, zoonotic worldwide infection caused by the larval stage of the dog taeniid tapeworm echinococcus granulosus. vaccination has been considered as one of the ways to prevent of hy-datidosis in recent decades. the aim of this study was to construct a pcdna3.1 eukaryotic expression vector contain-ing the subunit 8-kda antigen b (hyd1) of e. gr...

Specific humoral immune responses in a clinical trial on cattle for vaccines against contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) were investigated. The trial included a subunit vaccine consisting of five recombinant putative variable surface proteins of the infectious agent Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides small colony type (M. mycoides SC) compared to the currently approved attenuated vaccine ...

Bovine theileriosis is a tick-borne disease caused by obligate intracellular parasites related to the genus Theileria. Cellular immune responses protect cattle against pathogens through the activation of immune cells. Nowadays, live, attenuated vaccine of Theileria annulata (T. annulata) is being produced in Iran and is recommended for active cattle immunization. Detection of the immunogenic  a...

background: various prokaryotic and eukaryotic expression systems have been developed for the production of recombinant proteins. in the present study, we used a new protein expression system based on the iranian lizard leishmania, a trypanosomatid protozoan as a host, for the expression of lpg3 gene from leishmania infantum (l.infantum). methods: the lpg3 gene was cloned in the expression cass...

background the development of an effective subunit vaccine against brucellosis is a research area of intense. but optimization of recombinant proteins production in escherichia coli and content of endotoxins associated with final recombinant proteins are very important. objectives in the present study, expression and purification of brucella melitensis rhsp and rtf were optimized to reduce endo...

Background: Tuberculosis as a global health problem requires special attention in the contexts of prevention and control. Subunit vaccines are promising strategies to protect burdens of tuberculosis via increasing the BCG protection. The present study aimed to design a vaccine study by means of high-throughput expression and correct refolding of recombinant protein PPE17. Methods: We aimed to c...

background: rotaviruses (rv) are important viral diarrheal agents in calves. vaccination is an optimum measure to prevent bovine rotaviruses (brv) infection. however, little research on brv vp7 vaccine has been done and currently there is no brv vaccine. objective: to prepare a subunit vaccine of brv and investigate its efficacy. methods: total rna was extracted from ma104 cells infected with b...

brucellosis is a well-known infectious disease among domestic animals caused by brucella bacterium. omp25 is an outer membrane protein of brucella which plays an important role in immunogenicity of cells. moreover, brucella lumazine synthase (bls) as another main antigen can be used as an adjuvant when covalently attached to a foreign antigen. in the current study, designing and production of a...
