[ 1 ] - Therapeutic Applications of Monoclonal Antibodies in Multiple Sclerosis

Despite the various therapies available, the use of monoclonal antibodies is a highly specific approach that has only recently been of interest to researchers. The properties of antibodies have led to their use in the treatment of various diseases, including cancer, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes and multiple sclerosis (MS). MS, a chronic inflammatory disease, occurs commonly in young adults. Th...

[ 2 ] - Optimization of Cloning Conditions for high-level Production of Recombinant Mouse Interleukin-2 in Escherichia coli

Backgrounds and objectives: Interleukin 2 (IL-2) secreted by activated CD4+ T cells  has been known as a major mediator in both  adaptive and native immune system  due to a board range of effects on  different cells in the immunity system (1-6). Methods: cDNA synthesis was performed using gene- specific primers designed by Gene Runner software after RNA extraction of mouse splenocytes. PCR pro...

[ 3 ] - Regenerative Medicine: Highlight on the Significance of Therapeutics with Novel Strategies

Background: There is a worldwide effort to present novel approaches for the development of tolerance-induction treatments in regenerative medicine, after years of investigation in clinical transplantation. Particularly, novel approaches are based on controlling the immune response, including the application of biomaterials or imitation of antigen-specific peripheral tolerance in either solid-or...

[ 5 ] - A Convenient Method for Solubilization and Refolding Recombinant Proteins: An Experience from Recombinant Mouse TGF-β1

Background: The production of recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli is one of the most valuable achievements in biotechnology, with many therapeutic and diagnostic applications; however, the aggregation and misfolding of proteins that result in the formation of insoluble inclusion bodies is a disruptive factor in this process. Various solubilization and refolding methods can be used to impro...
