brucellosis is a well-known domestic animal infectious disease, which is caused by brucella bacterium. the outer membrane protein 25 kda (omp25) gene plays an important role in simulating of tnf-α, ifn-α, macrophage, and cytokines cells. in the current study molecular cloning and expression analysis of omp25 gene for designing a subunit vaccine against brucella was investigated. amplifying the ...

the present study aimed at evaluating the effect of aerobic exercise in carbon black particulates air pollution on tlr4 and tnf-α gene expression in male rats. 24 male wistar rats (mean body mass 279.29+26.97 gr) were randomly divided into 4 groups: a) control, b) aerobic exercise, c) pollution, d) exercise+pollution. a particulates injector and falounak chamber were used to expose the rats to ...

conclusions the current study adds evidence to the association of tnf-α gene polymorphism and ms in this southern south iranian population which is consistent with the genetic analysis of ms in europeans (games) project reports and these two alleles reported in this study may be one of the genetic risk factor for ms. furthermore, this data can be used to build the iranian gene bank for future s...

conclusions the results indicated that there was a positive association between susceptibility to chronic hbv infection and tnf-α polymorphism. in addition, hbv patients carrying -308 gg, -857 cc, and -863 aa genotypes with lower serum levels of tnf-α had an increased risk of infection. background the host genetic background regulates the natural history of chronic hepatitis b virus (hbv) infec...

The aim of this study was to examine the anti-inflammatory effects of co-administration of growthhormone-releasing peptide-2 (GHRP-2) and growth hormone (GH) on tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interleukin-6 (IL-6) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene expression induced by LPS in the mousebrain. Thirty-five male NMRI mice (25±5 g) were injected through the mouse tail vein with saline,...

Objective: According to the characteristics of α/β-globin gene imbalance caused by α-globin gene accumulation in β-thalassemia, we designed two lentiviral vectors, that is, while we used the lentiviral to mediate full length human β-globin gene, we introduced the interference fragment of lentiviral α-globin gene to adjust the α/β chain ratio by increasing the expression of β-globin and decreasi...
