Secretomics is receiving more and more considerable attention due to the key roles of secreted proteins in cancer. Most of the potential biomarkers for clinical diagnosis and treatment of cancer are secreted proteins. However, the low concentration of secreted proteins and contaminants released from dead cells are a great challenge to secretomic profiling studies. Although some bioinformatics t...

  Toxoplasma gondii contain various immunogenic antigens. The most important Toxoplasma antigens are somatic and excreted/secreted antigens. Rhoptry proteins are known as excreted/secreted antigens. These antigens have been proposed as a vaccine candidate against toxoplasmosis. The main objective of the present work was cloning rhoptry protein1 (ROP1) Gene of Toxoplasma gondii (RH) in a cloning...

Background: Root to shoot connection and transfer of information seems to be taken place mostly via the transmissions of signal molecules, secondary metabolites, amino acids, hormones and proteins, through xylem sap. Examination of earlier reports is indicative of relatively high levels of conservation in xylem sap protein compositions. Apparently these protein molecules are be...

Proteins of the Hedgehog, Wnt and Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) ligand families are secreted signals that induce concentration-dependent responses in surrounding cells. Although these proteins must diffuse through the aqueous extracellular environment, recent work has shown that hydrophobic lipid modifications are essential for their functions. All three classes of ligands are palmito...

Background: Secretory proteins of IgE receptor activated mast cells and basophils play a pivotal role in the generation of immediate and long term immune responses in allergy and type I hypersensitivity. Objective: The present study aims to generate a 2-D map and profile of proteins secreted from a high secretory variant of the rat basophilic leukemia cell line, RBL-2H3.1, which in view of the ...
