heterologous expression of hepatitis c virus core protein in oil seeds of brassica napus l.

چکیده
conclusions the canola oilseeds could provide a useful expression system to produce hcv core protein as a vaccine candidate. results western blot analysis using anti-his antibody confirmed the presence of a 15 kda protein in the seeds of t1 transgenic lines. the amount of antigenic protein accumulated in the seeds of these transgenic lines was up to 0.05% of the total soluble protein (tsp). materials and methods a codon-optimized gene harboring the kozak sequence, 6 × his-tag, hcvcp (1 - 122 residues) and kdel (lys-asp-glu-leu) peptide in tandem was designed and expressed under the control of the seed specific promoter, fatty acid elongase 1 (fae1), to accumulate the recombinant protein in canola (b. napus l.) seeds. transgenic lines were screened and the presence of the transgene was confirmed in the t0 plants by polymerase chain reaction (pcr). the quantity and quality of the hcv core protein (hcvcp) in transgenic seeds were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) and western blot, respectively. objectives the present study was aimed at investigating the possible expression of recombinant hcv core protein, as a leading hcv vaccine candidate, in canola (brassica napus) plant seeds in order to be used as an effective immunogen for vaccine researches. background hepatitis c virus (hcv), prevalent among 3% of the world population, is a major worldwide public health concern and an effective vaccination could help to overcome this problem. plant seeds as low-cost vaccine expression platforms are highly desirable to produce antigens.

متن کاملHeterologous Expression of Potato Virus Y Coat Protein, Isolate Pot187
Background: The advent of recombinant DNA technology has facilitated heterologous expression of proteins from various sources in different host systems including Escherichia coli. If a plant virus coat protein is expressed in the bacterium it can be used as the antigen for antibody preparation. Such a recombinant antigen preparation can be particularly useful where equipment such as ultracentri...
متن کاملStorage oil breakdown during embryo development of Brassica napus (L.).
In this study it is shown that at least 10% of the major storage product of developing embryos of Brassica napus (L.), triacylglycerol, is lost during the desiccation phase of seed development. The metabolism of this lipid was studied by measurements of the fate of label from [1-(14)C]decanoate supplied to isolated embryos, and by measurements of the activities of enzymes of fatty acid cataboli...

The mature core protein of the Hepatitis C virus (HCVC173) carrying pelB as a signal peptide (PelB::core) was overexpressed in Escherichia coli as 18% and 23.3% of the host’s total protein, in flask and fermentor cultivation, respectively. A final specific yield of 25 ± 1 mg HCVC173/g dry cell weight and an overallproductivity of 51±1 mg HCVC173/l/h were obtained in the stirred-tank ferme...
