[ 1 ] - Cloning and Expression of Heat Shock Protein 60kDa Gene from Brucella melitensis as Subunit Vaccine

Brucellosis is caused by the bacterium Brucella and affects various domestic and wild species. GroEL (Heat Shock Protein 60kDa) as one of the major antigens that stimulate the immune system, increases Brucella survival. The aim of the current study was to clone and express GroEL in Escherichia coli in order to design subunit vaccine. Amplifying was performed using specific primers. The full-len...

[ 2 ] - In Silico Prediction of B-Cell and T-Cell Epitopes of Protective Antigen of Bacillus anthracis in Development of Vaccines Against Anthrax

Protective antigen (PA), a subunit of anthrax toxin from Bacillus anthracis, is known as a dominant component in subunit vaccines in protection against anthrax. In order to avoid the side effects of live attenuated and killed organisms, the use of linear neutralizing epitopes of PA is recommended in order to design recombinant vaccines. The present study is aimed at determining the dominant epi...

[ 3 ] - شناسایی و تعیین توالی‌ 7 ژن RNA ناقل میتوکندریایی در مرغ بومی خراسان

هدف این پژوهش بررسی و تعیین توالی نوکلئوتیدی 7 ژن tRNA در ژنوم میتوکندری مرغ بومی خراسان و شناسایی جهش‌های احتمالی در آن بود. بدین منظور پس از نمونه‌ گیری و استخراج DNA از خون، این بخش از ژنوم با استفاده از آغازگرهای اختصاصی تکثیر و در پلاسمید pTG19-T در سویه <...

[ 4 ] - Effect of IL-2 co-expressed or co-inoculated with immuno-dominant epitopes from VP1 protein of FMD virus on immune responses in BALB/c mice

Objective(s): The results of studies on vaccine development for foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus show that the use of inactivated vaccines for FMD virus is not completely effective. Novel vaccinations based on immuno-dominant epitopes have been shown to induce immune responses. Furthermore, for safety of immunization, access to efficient adjuvants against FMD virus seems to be critical.Materi...
