Protein Production and Characterization
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ability to produce proteins is currently a major biological, physical, and computational challenge in protein research. Given a standard set of conditions, less than 30% of any given genome is expressible in a recombinant host. Protein expression requires complex, lengthy procedures, and specific proteins commonly require individual strategies for optimal expression. Standard bench-level procedures for protein production (expression and purification) do not exist. This lack of validated processes leads to a lengthy search for correct vector, host, expression and purification conditions to yield protein in milligram amounts.

PRODUCTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF HUMORAL IMMUNE RESPONSE AGAINST MUSTARD GAS
One of the promising aspects of the immunological research on chemical war gas is to investigate the immunogenicity of some hazardous compounds such as mustard gas. Mustard gas is categorized as a "hapten" based on its physical and chemical properties. Haptenic chemicals which do not possess immunogenicity could be immunogenic experimentally when conjugated with a suitable protein carrier...
متن کاملProduction and functional characterization of human insulin-like growth factor 1
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is a polypeptide hormone produced mainly by the liver in response to the endocrine growth hormone (GH) stimulus. This protein is involved in a wide range of cellular functions, including cellular differentiation, transformation, apoptosis suppression, migration and cell-cycle progression and other metabolic processes. In the current study, human heart cDNA w...
متن کاملProduction and characterization of polyclonal antibody against a synthetic peptide from β-actin protein
Objective(s):Antibodies against actin, as one of the most widely studied structural and multifunctional housekeeping proteins in eukaryotic cells, are used as internal loading controls in western blot analyses. The aim of this study was to produce polyclonal antibody against a synthetic peptide derived from N-terminal region of β-actin protein to be used as a protein loading control in western ...
متن کاملProduction, Purification and Characterization of Chicken Egg Yolk Monoclonal Antibody Against Colonization factor antigen -1 of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli Causing Diarrhea
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) causes diarrhea in both humans and animals. The contaminated food and water are the most common vehicles for ETEC infection. The colonization factor antigen (CFA-1) is a fimbriae protein that promotes adherence of the ETEC strain to the epithelium of the small intestine of the host. In this study IgY proteins were produced against the CFA-1 of ETEC in imm...
