چکیده

This study demonstrates that passive transfer of Francisella tularensis-specific antibodies before experimental cutaneous infection with the live vaccine strain of F. tularensis has profound effects. Recipient mice showed stronger staining for TNF-alpha and IL12, and larger numbers of neutrophils in skin samples after infection than control mice.

Characterization of Novel Fragment Antibodies Against TNF-alpha Isolated Using Phage Display Technique

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is an inflammatory cytokine which plays crucial roles in pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. The current study aimed to investigate the binding abilities of I44 and I49 domain antibodies to TNF-α. The dAbs were expressed in bacterial expression system and purified by affinity chromatography using Ni-sepharose column. The expression and purity of the protei...

Simple and Rapid Detection of Yersinia Pestis and Francisella Tularensis using Multiplex-PCR

Background: Yersinia pestis and Francisella tularensis cause plague and tularemia, which are known as diseases of the newborn and elderly, respectively. Immunological and culture-based detection methods of these bacteria are time-consuming, costly, complicated and require advanced equipment. We aimed to design and synthesize a gene structure as positive control for molecular detection of these ...
