background: the refolding of proteins from inclusion bodies is affected by several factors, including solubilization of inclusion bodies by denaturants, removal of the denaturant, and assistance of refolding by small molecule additives. objectives: the purpose of this study was optimization of recombinant human interferon-b purification in order to achieve higher efficiency, yield, and a produc...

background: escherichia coli (e. coli) is the most extensively used host for the production of recombinant proteins. however, most of the eukaryotic proteins are typically obtained as insoluble, misfolded inclusion bodies that need solubilization and refolding. reteplase as a highly disulfide-bonded recombinant protein is an example of difficult to express protein in e. coli. methods: in this s...

Many intracellular pathogens rely on host cell membrane compartments for their survival. The strategies they have developed to subvert intracellular trafficking are often unknown, and SNARE proteins, which are essential for membrane fusion, are possible targets. The obligate intracellular bacteria Chlamydia replicate within an intracellular vacuole, termed an inclusion. A large family of bacter...

objectives: this paper reviews the current literature on acquired brain injury (abi) with a focus on abi burden, importance of community integration, and community integration definitions suggested by the literature. methods: literature review results: acquired brain injury (abi) is referred to a diverse range of disabilities resulted of injury in different parts of the brain. people with abi a...
