[ 1 ] - Designing Two Individual AcMNPV Polyhedrin-Plus Bac-to-Bac Expression System in order to Express GFP and CPV-VP2 in Insect Cells

Background: The importance of viral protein-2 (VP2) of canine parvovirus (CPV) in binding to human cancer cells, production of veterinary vaccines and diagnostic kits has motivated several researches on producing this protein.Objectives: Our purpose was to construct recombinant bacmid shuttle vectors expressing VP2 of CPV using Bac-to-Bac baculoviral expr...

[ 2 ] - Synergistic Effect of Expressed miR-128 and Puma protein on Targeted Induction of Tumor Cell Apoptosis

Background: Puma is a highly robust pro-apoptotic protein. The protein becomes activated by p53 ensuing beyond-repair DNA damage. Downregulation of SIRT 1, by miR-128, elevates activated p53 that foment Puma indirectly. Objectives: In the present study, we used two-expression Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) system for co-expression of miR-128 and Puma in order to evaluate apoptotic response; both ...
