In this study, in order to facilitate and accelerate the production of eukaryotic protein alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT) with correct post-translational modifications, a protein production system based on the transduction of CHO and COS-7 cells using lentiviral vectors was developed. Human AAT cDNA was cloned into a replication-defective lentiviral vector. The transgene AAT-Jred chimer was transferr...

conclusions this study can serve as a fundamental experiment for the construction of a ns3/ns4a eukaryotic expression vector and its expression in mammalian cells. further research is underway to evaluate the fragment immunogenicity in lab animal models. results the results showed that the fragment was successfully amplified and cloned into a eukaryotic expression vector. sequencing and enzyme ...

Background: Dendritic cells (DCs) are ideal accessory cells in the field of gene therapy. Delivery of DNA and siRNA into mammalian cells is a useful technique in treating various diseases caused by single gene defects. Selective gene silencing by small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN)s is an efficient method for the manipulation of cellular functions. An effic...

background: recently, the use of t7 rna polymerase instead of other viral and cellular promoters is increasing due to high efficacy of transcription in the cell cytoplasm by this polymerase. in order to translate the transcripts produced by t7 rna polymerase in mammalian cell lines, it is necessary to include internal ribosome entry site (ires) sequences. in addition, if sequence of poly a sign...

human interferon β (inf-β) is a member of cytokines family which different studies have shown its immunomodulatory and antiviral activities. in this study an expression vector was designed and constructed for expression of human inf-β-1b either in shake flasks and bench top bioreactor. the designed vector was constructed based upon pet-25b(+) with t7 promoter. recombinant human beta interferon ...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a serious global health problem. The development of a safe and effective vaccinewould help infection prevention. Previous hepatitis B vaccine production involved the isolation of the noninfectious particle from chronic HBV carriers. DNA recombinant technology has been used for vaccineproduction without having been contaminated with blood-born infectious ag...

Background: Mammalian preimplantation development is a complex process involving dramatic changes in the transcriptional architecture. However, it is still unclear about the crucial transcriptional network and key hub genes that regulate the proceeding of preimplantation embryos. Materials and Methods: Through single-cell RNAsequencing (RNA-seq) of both human and mouse preimplantation embryos, ...

hepatitis c virus (hcv) is an important agent causing chronic liver infection, which often leads to liver cirrhosis and lethal hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc). at present, there is no effective hcv vaccine for prevention of hepatic disease and the standard treatment is neither economical nor fully effective in all the patients. however, vaccination based on structural and nonstructural proteins ...
