Gene expression is closely related to optimal vector-host system pairing in many prokaryotes. Redesign of the human cystatin C (cysC) gene using the preferred codons of the prokaryotic system may significantly increase cysC expression in Escherichia coli (E. coli). Specifically, cysC expression may be increased by removing unstable sequences and optimizing GC content. According to E. coli expre...

Human Interferon β (INF-β) is a member of cytokines family which different studies have shown its immunomodulatory and antiviral activities. In this study an expression vector was designed and constructed for expression of human INF-β-1b either in shake flasks and bench top bioreactor. The designed vector was constructed based upon pET-25b(+) with T7 promoter. Recombinant human beta interferon ...

background: vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) is a coordinate regulator of physiological angiogenesis during embryogenesis, skeletal growth and reproductive functions. there are several types of vegf, including vegf165. vegfs stimulate endothelial cell growth, angiogenesis, and capillary permeability. low induction temperature is a major factor for expression of the recombinant vegf165 ...

brucellosis is a well-known infectious disease among domestic animals caused by brucella bacterium. omp25 is an outer membrane protein of brucella which plays an important role in immunogenicity of cells. moreover, brucella lumazine synthase (bls) as another main antigen can be used as an adjuvant when covalently attached to a foreign antigen. in the current study, designing and production of a...

Efforts to express lipase in the periplasmic space of Escherichia coli have so far been unsuccessful andmost of the expressed recombinant lipases accumulate in the insoluble cell fraction. To evaluate the role ofnative and heterologous signal peptides in translocation of the lipase across the inner membrane of E. coli,the lipase gene (btl2) was cloned downstream of the native ...

Background and Amis: Serological assay is considered as one of the best choices for conducting large number of infection tests. Recombinant DNA technology has been used for expression of virus coat protein (CP) gene in prokaryotic bacterial cells such as Escherichia coli and the recombinant CP (rCP) is used as immunogen in antibody production. Heterologous CP protein expression and purification...

Although the Escherichia coli expression system is the most commonly used expression system, some proteins are still difficult to be expressed by this system, such as proteins with high thermolability and enzymes that cannot mature by autoprocessing. Therefore, it is necessary to develop alternative expression systems. In this study, a cold-adapted Pseudoalteromonas expression system was develo...

hepatitis c virus (hcv) is an important agent causing chronic liver infection, which often leads to liver cirrhosis and lethal hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc). at present, there is no effective hcv vaccine for prevention of hepatic disease and the standard treatment is neither economical nor fully effective in all the patients. however, vaccination based on structural and nonstructural proteins ...
