Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is the first line of defense against oxidative damage. Malathion an organophosphate insecticide and can induce production reactive oxygen species (ROS) cause intracellular stress. The present study was undertaken to examine effects malathion on SODs activity their transcriptional levels in Oxya chinensis (Thunberg) (Orthoptera: Acrididae). results showed that total SO...

Human calcyphosine was cloned into the pET-28a vector and highly expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells. The protein was purified and crystallized. The crystal diffracted to 2.8 A and belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2, with the unit cell parameters a=70.39 A, b=132.02 A, c=46.20 A.

This study aimed to perform the analysis of toxicity prediction, allergenicity and in silico cloningof peptides originated from SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein previous study. Allergenicity predictionemployed AllerPred predict non-allergen prediction performed using ToxinPred.Then, this designed cloning with pET-28a(+) usingSnapGene software. Therefore, successfully constructed vaccine candidate ...

AbstractObjective BCG can improve the response to vaccines directed against viral infections, and also, vaccination reduces all-cause mortality, most likely by protecting unrelated infections. However, effect of on dendritic cell (DC) subsets is not well characterized. Methods We investigated impact frequencies DC type I III interferons (IFNs) using whole blood plasma...

cytokines have been introduced as critical inducers in the development of th subpopulations.cytokines like il-10 are involved in inducing regulatory t cells such as type 1 regulatory t (tr1) cells cells. il-22 is a member of il-10 family of cytokines, and il-28a is a member of ifn-γ family. in this study, cord blood mononuclear cells (cbmc) from normal healthy individuals were isolated by ficol...

The Stellar Planet Survey (STEPS) is an ongoing astrometric search for giant planets and brown dwarfs around a sample of 30 M dwarfs. We have discovered several low-mass companions by measuring the motion of our target stars relative to their reference frames. The highest mass discovery thus far is G78-28B, a companion to the M dwarf G78-28A. The orbital period is 4:18 0:03 yr, the system mass ...

The Drosophila memory gene amnesiac (amn) has been proposed to encode a neuropeptide protein, which includes regions homologous to vertebrate pituitary adenylyl cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP; Feany and Quinn, 1995). Definitive experiments to link this gene to memory formation, however, have not yet been accomplished (Kandel and Abel, 1995). The experiments described here demonstrate that th...
