The expression of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) S1 glycoprotein in potatoes and its immunogenicity in mice and chickens were investigated. Potato plants were genetically transformed with a cDNA construct encoding the IBV S1 glycoprotein with the Agrobacterium system. Genomic DNA and mRNA analyses of the transformed plantlets confirmed the integration of the foreign cDNA into the potato geno...

Mechanisms of drug resistance other than P-glycoprotein are of increasing interest as the list of newly identified members of the ABC transport family has grown. We sought to characterize the phenotype of the newly discovered ABC transporter encoded by the mitoxantrone resistance gene, MXR, also known as ABCP1 or BCRP. The pharmacodynamics of mitoxantrone and 12 other fluorescent drugs were eva...

Abstract Background and Aims: Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is the causative agent of avian infectious bronchitis, which is characterized by respiratory, reproductive, and renal signs. IBV is a highly variable virus with a large number of genotypes. S1 gene sequencing has been used for molecular epidemiological studies and genotypic characterization of IBV. To better und...

avian infectious bronchitis is an acute and highly contagious disease that mainly causes respiratory symptoms in poultry. a number of serotypes and variants of the viral agent with poor cross-protection are the major problem to achieve desired immunity from vaccination. the s1 subunit of s glycoprotein (spike) is the major determinant of ibv so that a minor change in amino acid sequence of this...

The high mutation rates of the chicken coronavirus (IBV) cause economic threats to poultry industry. However, most dangerous situation is likelihood changing its sequences into human (COVID-19-like virus). Therefore, in present study we aimed investigate possibility genetic IBV COVID-19. Thus, Spike (S1) Glycoprotein genes both and COVID-19 were aligned, analyzed calculated predict possible cha...

Sindbis virus was used as a probe to examine glycosylation processes in two different species of cultured cells. Parallel studies were carried out analyzing the carbohydrate added to Sindbis glycoprotein E2 when the virus was grown in chicken embryo cells and BHK cells. The Pronase glycopeptides of Sindbis glycoprotein E2 were purified by a combination of ion-exchange and gel filtration chromat...

Infectious bronchitis (IB) is an acute and contagious disease of poultry. The spike glycoprotein (S) of IB virus is a dimmer and is cleaved into two glycopolypeptides, S1 and S2 post-translationally. S1 gene defines the serotype and plays a major role in induction of protective immunity. Eukaryotic expression systems are frequently employed for the production of recombinant S1 proteins as it is...
