TORDO, N. , BADRANE, H. , BOURHY, H. & SACRAMENTO, D. 1993. Molecular epidemiology of lyssaviruses: focus on the glycoprotein and pseudogenes. Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research , 60:315-323 The use of the polymerase chain reaction and sequencing of portions of lyssavirus glycoprotein and pseudogenes are discussed in attempts to better understand the epidemiology of rabies in Africa, ...

objective(s):transporters have an important role in pharmacokinetics of drugs. inhibition or induction of drug transporters activity can affect drug absorption, safety, and efficacy. p-glycoprotein (p-gp) is the most important membrane transporter that is responsible for active efflux of drugs. it is important to understand which drugs are substrates, inhibitors, or inducers of p-gp to minimize...

background and objectives: glycoprotein 96 is the primary chaperone of the endoplasmic reticulum. immunization with it induced potent cytotoxic t lymphocyte responses to intracellular bacteria. s. typhimurium is a facultative intracellular bacterium and acquired resistance against this bacterium mainly depends on activity of cytotoxic t cells. this study aimed to evaluate the capacity of glycop...

A panel of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to P-glycoprotein was developed by immunization of mice with multidrug-resistant human neuroepithelioma and neuroblastoma cells. All the anti-P-glycoprotein MAbs reacted with the extracellular portion of P-glycoprotein. The MAbs were examined for their ability to enhance accumulation of actinomycin D, vincristine, vinblastine, and doxorubicin in the human...

The E1 membrane glycoprotein of Sindbis virus contains structural and functional domains, which are conformationally dependent on the presence of intramolecular disulfide bridges (B. A. Abell and D. T. Brown, J. Virol. 67:5496-5501, 1993; R. P. Anthony, A. M. Paredes, and D. T. Brown, Virology 190:330-336, 1992). We have examined the disulfide bonds in E1 and have determined that the E1 membran...

The main aim of this study was to obtain the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) glycoprotein, through either stable transgenic plants or using a transient expression system, and determine the yield, quality and finally the immunogenicity of the plant-made CCHFV glycoprotein in a mouse model. We designed and synthesized a codon-optimized G1/G2 gene from the G1 and G2 parts of the CCHF...

background: spontaneous abortion is considered as the most complex problem during pregnancy. thrombophilia is resumed as a cause of recurrent pregnancy loss (rpl). glycoprotein iiia (gpiiia) gene is involved in thrombosis and abortion. angiotensin converting enzyme (ace) converts angiotensin i to angiotensin ii and is involved in thrombosis. the most common polymorphism in this gene is the inse...
