background: the rh antigens are expressed as parts of a protein complex in the rbc membrane. this complex is a tetramer, consisting of two molecules of rhag and two molecules of rh proteins. to express rhd in rbc membrane, expression of rhag is essential. this co-expression only occurs in the erythroid lineage. k562 cell line has an erythroid lineage. materials and methods: cord blood was used ...

the optimization of cell culture conditions for growth and productivity of recombinant chinese hamster ovary (cho) cells is a critical step in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. in the present study, the effects of the timing and amount of peptone feeding of a recombinant cho cell line grown in a basal medium in serum-free suspension culture were determined for eight peptones of different origin ...

conclusions dlec1 suppresses tumor cell growth the presence of ap-2α2 and stimulates cell proliferation in the down-regulation of ap-2α2 in dlec1 over-expression stable clones of htc116. results the dlec1 over-expression was found to reduce the number of colonies in colony formation and to induce g1 arrest in seven clones, and apoptosis in one clone in the cell cycle analysis. furthermore, rega...

objective: development of high producing mammalian cell lines is a major bottleneck in manufacturing of recombinant therapeutic proteins. this study examines the effect of using the matrix attachment region from the human interferon beta gene in combination with promoter activation strategy with e1a 13s protein on human tissue plasminogen activator (t-pa) expression in chinese hamster ovary (ch...

background: p19 cells are mouse embryonic carcinoma cells which contain pluripotent ability, like stem cells, to differentiate into different cell lines. there are several properties for this cell line that make it a valuable cell model for study of developmental stages. methods: at the first step, pts2-egfp coding sequence which was cloned in pucd2.hygro vector was used for transfection in to ...

tgiflx, a homoproteins cluster member located on the x chromosome, has a critical role in male reproduction and prostate development. previous studies have shown the erratic expression of tgiflx gene in a large proportion of prostate tumors. however tgiflx function in prostate development remains unknown. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the consequences of tgiflx expression on prostat...

Background: Recent researches have demonstrated that human T-cell immunoglobulin mucin 1 (TIM-1) glycoprotein plays important roles in regulation of autoimmune and allergic diseases, as well as in tumor immunity and response to viral infections. Therefore,targeting TIM-1 could be a potential therapeutic approach against such diseases. Objectives: In this study, we aimed to express TIM-1 protein...

background: the aim of this study was to produce a stable cho cell line expressing tenecteplase. materials and methods: in the first step, the tenecteplase coding sequence was cloned in a pdb2 vector containing attb recognition sites for the phage φc31 integrase. then, using lipofection, the cho cells were co-transfected with constructed recombinant plasmid encoding tenecteplase and attb recogn...

Background: Breast cancer is the most common female malignancy and the leading cause of cancer mortality in women worldwide. The human epidermal growth factor receptor2 (HER2) is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor that is usually overexpressed in human breast cancers. Stable cell lines heterogeneously overexpressing HER2 are highly required as in vitro models for breast cancer research. T...
