The recombinant antibodies RB712 and RB713 detect by ELISA the Drosophila melanogaster Spargel protein (or GCH) fused to a GST protein.

Brucellosis, caused by Brucella spp., is an important zoonotic disease that causes abortion and infertility in cattle and undulant fever in humans. Various studies have examined cell-free native and recombinant proteins as candidate protective antigens in animal models. Among Brucella immunogenes, antigen based on ribosomal preparation has been widely investigated. In this study, the immunogeni...

serological methods are commonly used methods for detection of viruses. preparation of pure viral antigens is a crucial step in production of antibodies required for serological studies. in this research the gene encoding coat protein of a beet western yellows virus (bwyv) isolate from iran was amplified by pcr and was ligated into a bacterial expression vector (pet26b) to obtain pet-bwyv-cp cl...

background: as a drug target and an antigenic agent, hiv-1 protease (hiv-1 pr) is at the center of attention for designing anti-aids inhibitors and diagnostic tests. in previous studies, the production of the recombinant protease has been faced with several difficulties; therefore, the aims of this study were the easy production, purification of the soluble form of protease in e. coli and inves...

background: echinococcosis or hydatid disease is a zoonotic infection caused by larval (metacestode) stages of cestodes belonging to the genus echinococcus, family taeniidae . we aimed to subclone antigen b gene in pqe-30 plasmid, its expression, and purification. methods: we subcloned hi gene into pqe-30 expression vector. the recombinant vector was transformed into e. coli , m15 and mass cult...

objective(s): helicobacter pylori, a human specific gastric pathogen is a causative agent of chronic active gastritis. the vacuolating cytotoxin (vaca) is an effective virulence factor involved in gastric injury. the aim of this study was to construct a recombinant protein containing antigenic region of vaca gene and determine its antigenicity.   materials and methods: the antigenic region of v...

Background and Aims: Since the produced recombinant proteins by molecular genetics techniques commonly have some limitations in the application, chimeric protein are introduced. Chimeric proteins have found widespread application for the study of protein folding, structure stability, function and immunogenisity. Methods: According to the known Immunomodulatory effect and structure of HSP70 mole...
