results cloning was confirmed by pcr and restriction digestion. rt-pcr and sds-page represented expression of kgf in e. coli. the optimized expression was achieved 16 hours after induction with 0.3 mm iptg at 37°c in luria broth (lb) containing kanamycin. the 18 kda protein was confirmed by western blotting, using anti-his antibodies. conclusions the result of the present study indicated that e...

background: allergy is a clinical disorder affecting humans worldwide. allergenic extracts prepared from natural source materials remain heterogeneous in composition and content, but are regularly used for diagnosis and immunotherapy. recombinant allergens are suitable candidates to use in place of natural allergens; however, the recombinant allergens should be assessed and compared with the na...

The lambda gt 11 expression vector permitted us to survey protein antigens of Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium tuberculosis expressed in Escherichia coli. Using monoclonal antibodies, recombinant clones were detected producing three major antigens of M. tuberculosis and five major protein antigens of M. leprae. These recombinant antigens produced in E. coli should prove useful for diagnos...

Objective(s):Multi-epitopic protein vaccines and direction of vaccine delivery to dendritic cells (DCs) are promising approaches for enhancing immune responses against mutable pathogens. Escherichia coli is current host for expression of recombinant proteins, and it is important to optimize expression condition. The aim of this study was the optimization of multi-epitopic HIV-1 tat/pol/gag/env ...

Background: Benzaldehyde dehydrogenase (BZDH) is encoded by the xylC that catalyzes the conversion of benzaldehyde into benzoate in many pathways such as toluene degradation. Objectives: In this study, the xylC gene from Rhodococcus ruber UKMP-5M was expressed in Escherichia coli, purified, and characterized.Materials and Methods: The xylC was amplified and cloned in E. coli. The re...

The importance of rainbow trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss) in Iran aquaculture industry on one hand, and increasing the mortality of this fish due to outbreaks of infectious diseases, on the other hand, indicate the requirement for more profound understanding the rainbow trout immune system and access to laboratory tools for definitive diagnosis of its diseases. One of the most important defense me...

In order to study the periplasmic expression of human growth hormone (hGH) in Escherichia coli, the related cDNA was inserted in two expression plasmids carrying pelB signal peptide, one with lac bacterial promoter and the other with a bacteriophage T7-based promoter. The recombinant plasmids were moved to TG1 and BL21 strains of E. coli, respectively. To induce the expression systems, IPTG and...

Epitope-G1 of bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) G glycoprotein has been genetically and antigenically conserved among various isolates of BEFV and only reacts with anti-BEFV neutralising antibodies. Therefore, it is a candidate antigen for development of the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for serological identification bovine ephemeral fever (BEF)-infected animals. The aim of this ...

Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (eGFP) shows much stronger fluorescence than its ancestor, (GFP), thus has been widely applied as a reporter for biomedical research. In this study, we reported the expression of synthetic codon optimized gene encoding eGFP in Escherichia coli (E. coli). The was cloned into two vectors, pQE30 and pColdII resulting recombinant vectors were transformed E. M15 BL...
