En México, los bosques de pino son afectados por plagas insectiles, dentro las cuales destacan avispas la familia Diprionidae, conocidas como moscas sierra ―insectos causantes defoliaciones en grandes extensiones pinos y juniperus a lo largo del territorio nacional―, que existe necesidad implementar medidas control. Una estrategia es el uso baculovirus ha mostrado efectividad varios países, con...

Shrimp aquaculture has a short history in I.R Iran. Farmed shrimp production grew slowly from 1992 until 2000 when a number of large farms started to produce. In 2000, the total production was about 4,500 MT and it was estimated that more than 7,000 MT would be produce by the year 2001. From August 1997 to March 1998, two thousand samples of cultured Penaeus semisulcatus postlarvae and subadult...

hepcidin is an innate immune element which decreases the iron absorption from diet and iron releasing from macrophage cell. in contrast to the chemical iron chelators, there has been limited effort applied to the specific use of hepcidin as a new drug for decreasing the iron overload. hepcidin is produced in different biological systems. for instance, e-coli is used for human hepcidin expressio...

A recombinant baculovirus harboring the hemagglutinin (HA) gene of African swine fever virus, with homology to the T-lymphocyte surface antigen CD2, was constructed. The efficient expression of the HA gene was determined by immunofluorescence and Western blot studies on insect cells infected with the recombinant baculovirus. The baculovirus-expressed HA showed hemadsorption and erythrocyte-aggl...

BACKGROUND Baculovirus, which has a width of 40 nm and a length of 250-300 nm, can display functional peptides, receptors and antigens on its surface by their fusion with a baculovirus envelop protein, GP64. In addition, some transmembrane proteins can be displayed without GP64 fusion, using the native transmembrane domains of the baculovirus. We used this functionality to display human proreni...

The capsid protein gene of tobacco ringspot virus (TobRV), which had been modified to contain an amino-terminal methionine codon, was ligated into a baculovirus transfer vector downstream from the polyhedrin promoter. The resulting plasmid was cotransfected with linearized baculovirus DNA into insect cells. Recombinant baculovirus expressed high levels of the TobRV capsid protein that assembled...
