Background: Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is one of the important vegetable oil supplies in the world and in Iran, as well. It is classified as a drought semi-tolerant crop; however, its yield is adversely affected by drought stress. Understanding the initial events in sensing stress and the related physiologic and biochemical events thereafter, is crucial in designing droug...

The Sm, like-Sm, and Hfq proteins belonging to the Sm superfamily of are represented in all domains life. These involved several RNA metabolism pathways. functions bacterial eukaryotic have been described, but knowledge about vivo archaeal remains limited. This study aims improve understanding Lsm their role using haloarchaeon Haloferax mediterranei as a model microorganism. genome contains one...

the human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulation factor (hgm-csf) gene was cloned in the pet 23a( +) expression vector under the control of strong bacteriophage t7 transcription and translation signals. the hgm-csf gene was transferred into e. coli strainbl21 (de3)plyss andiptg was used for induction of gm-csf gene. production of the target protein was obtained as revealed by elisa and weste...

STATs are a family of latent transcription factors that reside in the cytoplasm of resting cells. The STAT1 transcription factor gene located on the chromosome 2 at interval 60 to 63 cM. This factor upon stimulation with INF gamma, dimerizes and translocate to the nucleus where mediates transcriptional regulation. In this study, we estimated the allele and genotype frequencies of STAT1/Pag<...

interleukin-1β (il-1β), the prototypical pro-inflammatory cytokine, is produced by macrophages following exposure to bacterial products. its role is to act upon several cell types at the site of infection to stimulate the production of pro-inflammatory molecules that will cause increase in vascular permeability. therefore, il-1β regulates the initiation and development of acute inflammation tha...

Objective: MafA is one of the major factors in the family of MafA transcription factors. In pancreatic beta cells, MafA plays an important role in regulating the expression of glucose-dependent Insulin gene. On the other hand, Lipotocyticleads to negative expression of MafA expression when exposed to inflammatory cytokines. These statements in general emphasize the role that MafA plays as a key...

Blinatumomab, the bispecific T cell engager, has been demonstrated as the most successful BsAb to date. Throughout the past decade, vector design has great importance for the expression of monoclonal antibody in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. It has been indicated that expression plasmids based on the elongation factor-1 alpha (EF-1 alpha) gene and DHFR selection marker can be highly effect...

Lymphomas are solid tumors of immune system and Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas (NHL) is the most prevalent lymphomas; with wide ranges of histological and clinical features, it is so difficult to identify them. Herein, various bioinformatics tools (such as gene differential expressions, epigenetics and protein analysis) employed to find new treatment approach for NHL based on gene expression variation b...
