hepatitis c virus (hcv) is an important agent causing chronic liver infection, which often leads to liver cirrhosis and lethal hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc). at present, there is no effective hcv vaccine for prevention of hepatic disease and the standard treatment is neither economical nor fully effective in all the patients. however, vaccination based on structural and nonstructural proteins ...

mammalian expression systems, due to their capacity in post-translational modification, are preferred systems for biopharmaceutical protein production. several recombinant protein systems have been introduced to the market, most of which are under clinical development. in spite of significant improvements such as cell line engineering, introducing novel expression methods, gene silencing and pr...

background: hepatitis c virus (hcv) is a main public health problem causing chronic liver infection and subsequently liver cirrhosis and lethal hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc). vaccination based on hcv capsid proteins has attracted a special interest for prevention of viral infections. the core protein is a basic and evolutionary most conserved protein, which regulates the cellular processes rel...

Mammalian expression systems, due to their capacity in post-translational modification, are preferred systems for biopharmaceutical protein production. Several recombinant protein systems have been introduced to the market, most of which are under clinical development. In spite of significant improvements such as cell line engineering, introducing novel expression methods, gene silencing and pr...

objective: bone morphogenetic protein-7 (bmp-7) is a multifunctional growth factor predominantly recognized for its osteoinductive properties. due to the high cost of this protein, the availability of bmp-7 for treatment is limited. the heterologous production of recombinant hbmp-7 has been performed in a number of expression systems. in this study a novel form of bmp-7 was expressed in eukaryo...
