conclusions the canola oilseeds could provide a useful expression system to produce hcv core protein as a vaccine candidate. results western blot analysis using anti-his antibody confirmed the presence of a 15 kda protein in the seeds of t1 transgenic lines. the amount of antigenic protein accumulated in the seeds of these transgenic lines was up to 0.05% of the total soluble protein (tsp). mat...

background: leishmaniasis is a worldwide disease prevalent in tropical and sub- tropical countries. in the present study the immunogenicity of three human hla-dr1 restricted peptides derived from l. major gp63 protein was evaluated using fvb/n-dr1 transgenic mouse model. methods: the immunity generated by three mhc class ii – restricted peptides with the sequence of aarlvrlaaagaavt (aar), aaplv...

ABSTRACT- In order to produce transgenic rice lines lacking selectable marker gene, biolistic co-transformation technique using gold nanoparticles was adopted. In the first step, the efficiency of different sizes of gold particles was evaluated. The results showed that the efficiency of the nanoparticles in the transformation was comparable to that of the micro particles. Subsequently, two sepa...

transgene integration and expression in host plant is quite unpredictable and is considered as the major problem in plant transformation. the variation in transgene copy number in transgenic plants influences the expression level and is one of such complication. in many plant species, the analysis of transgenic plants has shown that independent transgenic plants have one to many copies of trans...

abstract background: determination of transgenic embryos from non transgenic embryos sibling is an important step in producing homozygous transgenic mice. these steps need by pcr or southern blotting followed extraction of dna, but both techniques require skill and consume time. objective: the aim of this study was simulation of high accuracy method using novel enhanced green fluorescent protei...

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of educational – extension factors on the use of transgenic plants. This study was conducted through a survey design. The research was an applied study type. The research method of this study is descriptive-correlation.  Statistical population of the study consisted of all of biotechnology experts of Research Center of Agriculture of Ilam Prov...

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is the third most important oil crop in global productions. One of the major limiting factors for oilseed rape production is lepidopteran pests of the Brassicaceae family. Transgenic plants expressing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) genes are powerful tools in the integrated pest management of crop plants. In the present study, we used a synthetic Bt insecticidal crysta...

alzheimer’s disease (ad) is a uniquely human disorder. although the pathogenesis of ad is not fully understood, growing evidence indicates that the deposition of beta-amyloid (aβ) and the local reactions of various cell types to this protein play major roles in the development of the disease. in the present study transgenic mice expressing mutant amyloid precursor protein (app) has been used. t...
