background: eukaryotic proteins generally have signal peptides, which are not only crucial for their secretion efficiencies but are important for their expression levels. the coagulation factor ix (fix) is a glycoprotein that plays a fundamental role in a blood coagulation pathway. reduced levels or dysfunctional fix are associated with hemophilia b. to improve the hfix secretion efficiency in ...

objective: lentivirus-derived vectors are among the most promising viral vectors for gene therapy which is currently available, but their use in clinical practice is limited due to associated risk of insertional mutagenesis. gene targeting is an ideal method for gene therapy, but it has low efficiency in comparison to viral vector methods. in this study, we are going to design and construct an ...

the main aim of this study was to obtain the crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever virus (cchfv) glycoprotein, through either stable transgenic plants or using a transient expression system, and determine the yield, quality and finally the immunogenicity of the plant-made cchfv glycoprotein in a mouse model. we designed and synthesized a codon-optimized g1/g2 gene from the g1 and g2 parts of the cchf...

background: the potential of plants as a safe and eukaryotic systems, are considered for producing recombinant therapeutic human protein today; but the expression level of heterologous proteins is limited by the post-transcriptional gene silencing (ptgs) response in this new technology. the use of viral suppressors of gene silencing can prevent ptgs and improve transient expression level of for...

Using agro-infiltration technique, we have transiently expressed human Growth Hormone (hGH) in tobacco(Nicotiana tobacum), potato (Solanum tuberosum) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa) leaves. Out of three differentinoculation times used for infiltration in our study, it was seen that highest level of hGH expression wasachieved when leaves were infiltrated for 35 min. The presence o...

introduction: stimulation of peptidergic fibers activates microglia in the dorsal horn. microglia activation causes fractalkine (fkn) release, a neuron-glia signal, which enhances pain. the transient vanilloid receptor 1 (trpv1) mediates the release of neuropeptides, which can subsequently activate glia. trpv1 and trpv2 are generally expressed on c and aδ fibers, respectively. expression of bot...

Transient expression of proteins in plants has become a choice to facilitate recombinant protein production with its fast and easy application. On the other hand, host defensive mechanisms have been reported to reduce the efficiency of transient expression in plants. Hence, this study was designed to evaluate the effect of cap analog and Potato virus A helper component proteinase (PVA HC-Pro) o...

objective: development of high producing mammalian cell lines is a major bottleneck in manufacturing of recombinant therapeutic proteins. this study examines the effect of using the matrix attachment region from the human interferon beta gene in combination with promoter activation strategy with e1a 13s protein on human tissue plasminogen activator (t-pa) expression in chinese hamster ovary (ch...
