background and objectives: timely diagnosis of leptospirosis is essential for an effective treatment. large diversity of clinical symptoms has led leptospirosis diagnosis difficult. researchers have conducted many tests with wide-range of sensitivity and specificity to achieve novel diagnostic procedures which have higher sensitivity and specificity compared with previous tests and which are mo...

conclusions based on the findings, application of recombinant arcaga antigen for the detection of h. pylori infection is a simple, rapid, and brief non-invasive method. therefore, it can be suggested as an appropriate antigen for h. pylori detection kits. results we investigated caga protein, using the immunoblotting method in stool samples, which were already identified as positive by the appl...

background alcoholic hepatitis (ah) is an acute manifestation of alcoholic liver disease with high mortality rates. objectives our aim was to study the molecular mechanisms of ah. materials and methods the differentially expressed genes (degs) in liver between ah and control cases were identified by analyzing the gse28619 microarray data using t-test. the kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes...

an experiment was conducted to study wheat grain protein increasing through foliar application of nitrogen afterflowering. the rcbd design was analysed with three replications and four n-treatments as foliar application as(n0=0, n1=4kg.ha-1 urea, n2=8kg.ha-1 urea, n3=4kg.ha-1 ammonium sulfate). results showed that seed proteincontent increased significantly by foliar application of nitrogen. da...

objectives the overall goal of this study was to carry out a set of comparative analyses of arsr gene in plasmid r773 and bacterial chromosome from escherichia coli bl-21(de3). methods pdb and ncbi databases and chimera, mega4, clc main workbench software and 3d-jigsaw and embl-ebi servers were applied to perform this study. by using these software and servers, multiple analyses including deter...

BACKGROUND Milbemycins, produced from Streptomyces hygroscopicus subsp. aureolacrimosus and Streptomyces bingchenggensis, are 16-membered macrolides that share structural similarity with avermectin produced from Streptomyces avermitilis. Milbemycins possess strong acaricidal, insecticidal, and anthelmintic activities but low toxicity. Due to the high commercial value of the milbemycins and incr...

The Albany State grapplers unveiled a power-packed line-up Saturday -as they gained seven of eleven first places on the way to a decisive victory in their second annual quadrangular tournament.

background: tumour suppressor genes such as tp53, brca1 and rad51 are involved in dna repair and their malfunctions result in genomic instability and cancer. wild type (wt) tp53 binds to brca1and rad51 in vivo and in vitro. however, mutated tp53 in tumours can interfere with wt tp53 function. we studied how mutation of tp53 in mda-mb-468 cell line could affect its binding capacity and interfere...

nine multiparous lactating cows averaging 171 days in milk were divided according to days in milk and milk production into three 3×3 latin squares with three 3-week periods to investigate the effect of rumen degradable protein on milk urea nitrogen. diets were formulated to provide 3 concentrations of dietary rumen degradable protein (9.8, 10.8, and 11.8% of dry matter), while rumen undegradabl...

background: the purity and correct folding of a recombinant protein is critical for any structural, biochemical and vaccine design studies. plasmodium vivax duffy binding protein-ii is a leading vaccine candidate for vivax malaria. in the present study, the purification process of recombinant dbp-ix (a variant form of pvdbp-ii) was optimized to achieve the highest yield and purity. moreover, na...
