Background: Degradation of phytic acid to inorganic phosphate in domestic animals’ diets requires thermostable phytase. Although Basillus subtilis phytase shows a potential to be degraded phytate complex in high temperature, the enzyme activities and yields need to be increased to make them possible for industrial application. Methods: The phytase gene from Bacillus subtilis DR8886 was...

Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), a gut peptide released in response to food intake brings about secretion of insulin in a glucose-dependent manner upon binding to its receptor, GIPR. GIP-GIPR has emerged as a new vista for anti-diabetic drug discovery and their interaction is being probed at the atomic level to aid rational drug design. In order to probe this interaction on c...

The poultry industry in Vietnam is vulnerable to many viral diseases. Since antibiotics and vaccination provide inadequate protection, it will be beneficial have alternative immunostimulants boost non-specific immunity poultry. Chicken interferon-alpha (ChIFNα) has been described previously with antiviral activity against pathogens. Therefore, the purpose of this study clone express recombinant...

The sip gene encoding for a conserved highly immunogenic surface protein of Streptococcus agalactiae was amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and subcloned into prokaryotic expression vector pET32a (+) and expressed as a recombinant protein in E. coli BL21 (DE3). An indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed using the purified Sip protein as a coating antigen, w...

Objective(s): Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the most effective proteins in angiogenesis, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiation and wound healing. These abilities are therapeutic potential of VEGF in diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy and other tissue damage circumstances. In this study, recombinant VEGF was produced in Escherichia coli (E. coli) system and then biol...

  Objective(s): Streptokinase (SKa) is an antigenic protein which is secreted by Streptococcus pyogenes. Streptokinase induces inflammation by complement activation, which may play a role in post infectious diseases. In the present study, recombinant streptokinase from S. pyogenes was produced and showed that recombinant SKa protein was recognized by infected human sera using Western blot analy...

Bluetongue (BT) is a viral disease causing morbidity and mortality in sheep, cattle and wild ruminants, including deer, sambar and bluebull. In this study we present the internal gene of outer coat protein, VP2 of bluetongue virus serotype 1 of Indian isolate was amplified from cDNA synthesized through RT-PCR using total RNA with specific forward and reverse primers. The PCR product was cloned ...
