Hydatidosis is a disease caused by infection with the metacestode stage of the dog tapeworm,Echinococcus granulosus. This is recognised as one of the world’s most important zoonoses, affecting bothhumans and their domestic animals. In the current study, 20 sheep cystic livers or lungs were collected.Hydatid fluid and protoscolices were isolated and the soluble protein was prepared. Polypeptide ...

snail is one of the worst causes of food allergy. thus, the aim of this study was to identify the major and minor allergens of the local marine snail ( cerithidea obtusa ) and subsequently to investigate the impacts of heat treatment on the ige-binding activity of snail allergens. proteins from raw and heat-treated snails (boiled, roasted and fried) were extracted and then resolved by sodium do...

  To detect the effects of sympathomimetic drugs with selective action on β1 and β2 adrenoceptors, male albino mice were treated by intraperitoneal administration of dobutamine and terbutaline for 15 days. Three groups of mice were selected as dobutamine, terbutaline and control groups, respectively. At the end of the experiment, the animals were sacrificed and the parotid glands were removed a...

in this study, 120 aegilops crassa (mmdd genome) accessions from iran were evaluated for high molecular weight proteins. based on sds-page analysis, 17 bands were selected and mass spectrometry was used for protein identification. among 17 bands selected for maldi-tof-tof-ms analyzing, only 4 bands were identified as high molecular weight glutenin subunit similar to aegilops ventricosa and trit...

introduction: shigella is a facultative intracellular pathogen that uses the host actin cytoskeleton protein for intra- and intercellular spread. the aim of this study was to determine the distribution of icsa gene and icsa expressed protein bands among shigella flexneri strains isolated from 3 clinical centers in tehran. material and methods: two hundred and seventy five isolated shigella flex...

CASE DESCRIPTION The serum protein electrophoresis pattern (SPEP) for an 82-year-old female patient with known monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance demonstrated 2 aberrant protein bands, one in the 21 interzone (Fig. 1A, fat arrow) and one in the 12 interzone (Fig. 1A, thin arrow). The immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE) (Fig. 1B) revealed a large IgA paraprotein in the 12 interz...

Drought stress is a serious adverse factor limiting growth and productivity of sunflower. Evaluation of defense systems is important for producing resistant cultivars. In this study, some agro-morphological and molecular characteristics of six sunflower lines were evaluated under normal and irrigation at 40 and 60% of field capacity in randomized complete block design (RCBD). The results showed...

in the present study, we investigated total cell protein patterns of ten isolates of epidermophyton floccosum var.pigmented by sds-page on 10% polyacrylamide resolving gels. densitometric analysis of the gels allowed to detect more than 31 clearly detectable mycelial protein bands with molecular weights in the range of 12 to 98 kd proteins of 12.5, 13.5, 14.4, 16, 18.4, 19.7, 20.1, 23.5, 26, 27...

background: mycobacterium bovine, as the etiology of bovine tb, involves human in some cases and with mycobacterium tuberculosis are regarded as global health problems. the aim of this study was to extract and compare protein profile of these strains in order to achieve effective biomarkers for diagnosis and the vaccine components. materials and methods: first, the clinical samples were culture...

one of the most important forms of preharvest damage to wheat is caused by sunn pests. the insects insert their mouth parts into the immature grain and while injecting their saliva suck the milky juices. flour from damaged wheat results in low baking performance due to the bug proteolytic enzymes’ injected which cause the breakdown of gluten structure in the dough. in the present study three wh...
