[ 1 ] - The prevalence of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection in the oligospermic and azoospermic men

Background: Human papilloma virus (HPV) infection is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases that affects men like women and infected cutaneous and mucosal squamous epithelium. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of HPV in the semen of oligospermic, azoospermic and normal patients. Methods: From June 2012 to June 2013, a total of 90 individuals were enro...

[ 2 ] - Assessment of humoral immune response of a Cytomegalovirus DNA-vaccine candidate in BALB/c mice

Introduction: Glycoprotein B (gB) is the major antigen for induction of humoral responses against human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) making it an attractive candidate for immune prophylaxis. In the present study, the humoral immune response of BALB/c mice to a truncated HCMV gB protein fused with GFP was evaluated. Methods: The truncated gB coding sequence was synthesized and cloned in pEGFPN1 eukary...

[ 3 ] - بررسی بیان توالی کامل ژن گلیکوپروتئین سطحی 2 ویروس هپاتیت C در مخمر پیکیا پاستوریس

سابقه و هدف: عفونت ویروس هپاتیت C با اتصال پروتئینE2  ویروس به گیرنده سطح سلول کبد انسان آغاز می شود. بنابراین به عنوان یکی از اهداف تحقیقات دارو و واکسن بر علیه این عفونت مطرح می باشد. این مطالعه برای اولین بار در ایران با هدف انتقال تمام طول ژن HCV-2a (JFH1) E2 توسط وکتور نوترکیب E2-pPICZAa به مخمر پیکیاپاستوریس سویه KM71H و بیان ژن یاد شده در این سیستم بیانی انجام شد. <stro...

[ 5 ] - Design, Synthesis, Molecular Modeling Studies and Biological Evaluation of N'-Arylidene-6-(benzyloxy)-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carbohydrazide Derivatives as Novel Anti-HCV Agents

HCV-induced hepatitis is one of the most debilitating diseases. The limited number of anti-HCV drugs and drug-resistance necessitate developing of new scaffolds with different mode of actions. HCV non-structural protein 5B (NS5B) is an attractive target for development of novel inhibitors of HCV replication. In this paper, new N'-arylidene-6-(benzyloxy)-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carbohydrazi...

[ 7 ] - Proteasome Inhibition by Carfilzomib Induced Apotosis and Autophagy in a T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Cell Line

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia is an aggressive hematologic malignancy which is usuallyassociated with unfavorable prognosis particularly in patients with refractory/relapsed disease.Therefore, development of novel therapeutic strategies is highly required for improving theoutcome of these patients. Although there are several studies evaluating the efficacy of proteasome<...

[ 8 ] - Design, Synthesis, Molecular Modeling Study and Biological Evaluation of New N'-arylidene-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-5-carbohydrazide Derivatives as Anti-HIV-1 Agents

In an attempt to identify potential new agents that are active against HIV-1, a series of novel pyridopyrimidine-5-carbohydrazide derivatives featuring a substituted benzylidene fragment were designed and synthesized based on the general pharmacophore of HIV-1 integrase inhibitors. The cytotoxicity profiles of these compounds showed no significant toxicity to human cells and they exhibited anti...
