Antibodies are essential tools of biomedical and biochemical researches. Polyclonal antibodies are produced against different epitopes of antigens. Purified F(ab')2 can be used for animal’s immunization to produce polyclonal antibodies. Human immunoglobulin G (IgG) was purified by ion exchange chromatography method. In all stages verification method of the purified antibodies was sod...

background: radiolabeled polyclonal human immunoglubins are useful in the detection of inflammations. in this work a novel approach has been presented to use thallium-201 as a comlexed nuclide for the development of radioimmunoconjugates. materials and methods: thallium-201 (t1/2=3.04 d) in tl+ form was converted to tl3+ cation in presence of o3 in 6m hcl, controlled by rtlc/gel electrophoresis...

background: opticin, as a member of small leucine rich proteoglycans (slrps), mainly expressed in human eyes. it is also expressed in human brain, ligament, liver and skin, but at lower levels than the eyes. in the present study, expression of opticin was studied in a variety of human cancer cell lines. materials and methods: in this basic study, human cancer cell lines including, a-172 (brain ...

introduction: polyclonal antibodies are required to be affinity purified. improved purification methods of polyclonal antibody provide an opportunity to pick the most purified immunoglobulins as a primary or secondary antibody in immunoassays that are included in many vaccine studies. two common techniques for purifying proteins is salt precipitation and chromatography purification. our work fo...

conclusions the r-b-flagellin carried antigenic epitopes just like the native flagellin, while the polyclonal antibody raised against it exhibited functional activity. results the polyclonal antibodies raised against this r-b-flagellin inhibited the motility of the homologous pao1 strain of p. aeruginosa, which significantly decreased the invasion of the pao1 strain into the a549 cells and also...

the rotavirus nonstructural protein 4 (nsp4), is a multi functional protein that play key role in both viral morphogenesis and cytopathic effect associated with cell death. however, the complete biological effect of nsp4 remains to be clarified. since to obtain further knowledge about this protein there is a need for recognizing antibody and there is no commercial antibody against this protein...

p53 is a key tumor suppressor gene that is targeted for inactivation during human tumorigenesis. In this study, we produced and characterized polyclonal antihuman p53 antibody. The cDNA encoding the completehuman p53 protein was cloned into pGEX-4T-1 and expressed in Escherichia coli as a fusion protein with Schistosoma japonicum glutathione S-transferase (GST). The rabbits were immunized...

Background: T cell Immunoglobulin, Mucin (TIM)-3, is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to TIM family. This receptor expresses on T helper type 1 (Th1) cells that binds to galectin-9 (Gal9); inducing an inhibitory signal. As a result, apoptosis of Th1 cells occurs and cytotoxicity of CD8 T cells becomes evident in vitro. Therefore, this immunomodulatory molecule may ...
