background and objectives: during past decades hansenula polymorpha has attracted global attention for the expression of recombinant proteins due to its high growth rate, minimal nutritional porequirements and use of methanol as a low cost inducer. materials and methods: the corresponding nucleotide sequences for the expression of heterologous genes in hansenula poylmorpha were extracted and as...

introduction: follicle stimulating hormone (fsh) is one of the pituitary glycoproteines that it consists of two subunits alpha and beta. the beta subunit is responsible for the biological activity of fsh. the aim of present study was isolation of the β subunit coding sequence containing its signal sequence from human genome and then cloning of the isolated sequence in ppic9 shuttle vector under...

background: leishmania homologue of receptors for activated c kinase(lack) antigen is a 36-kda protein, which provokes a very early immune response against leishmania infection. there are several reports on the expression of lack through different life-cycle stages of genus leishmania , but only a few of them have focused on l.tropica . methods: the present study provides details of the cloning...

Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT or cloning) returns a differentiated cell to a totipotent status; a process termed nuclear reprogramming. Reproductive cloning has potential applications in both agriculture and biomedicine, but is limited by low efficiency. To understand the deficiencies of nuclear reprogramming, our research has focused on both candidate genes and global gene expression pat...

Background: Stresses (such as drought, salt, viruses, and others) seriously affect plant productivity. To cope with these threats, plants express a large number of genes, including several members of ERD (early responsive to dehydration) genes to synthesize and assemble adaptive molecules. But, the function of ERD3 gene hasn’t been known so far.Objectives:</strong...

Interferon is a protein secreted by eucaryotic cells following stimulation by viruses, bacteria, and many other immunogenes. Recent medical studies indicate that interferons have effective role in the treatment of virus infections, immunodeficiency and certain types of cancer such as hairy cell leukaemia (HCL). The aim of the present study is to apply yeast strain for secreting human IFNα2b fol...

Background and Aims: DNA cloning, sub-cloning and site directed mutagenesis are the most common strategies in nearly all projects of recombinant protein production. The classical method of restriction site cloning is unsatisfactory due to the need for supply of restriction enzymes and the inefficiency of the digestion reaction. Many new methods, including recombinatorial cloning and ligation in...

increment. it is categorized based on genetic aberrations. some of these genetic disorders can determine minimal residual diseases (mrd) and prognosis of aml patients. wilms tumor (wt1) over expression is found in aml patients. the aim of this study was to determine the frequency of wt1 over expression in aml pediatric cases in north -east of iran. materials and methods: this retrospective stud...
