Objective(s):Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common age-related neurodegenerative disorder. One of the hallmarks of AD is an abnormal accumulation of fibril forms of tau protein which is known as a microtubule associated protein. In this regard, inhibition of tau aggregation has been documented to be a potent therapeutic approach in AD and tauopathies. Unfortunately, the available syntheti...

Cottonseed is potential candidate to act as an important protein source but presence of toxic compound gossypol with concentration more than 0.045% main hurdle in utilization this protein. Optimized lyophilized powder constitutes 5.05% moisture, 93.1% crude protein, 0.03% free gossypol, 0.27% total and bacterial count 1295 cfu/g no pathogenic bacteria. may be utilized ingredient for food indust...

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...

Objective(s): Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains are one of the primary causes of diarrhea in newborn calves and in humans, pigs, and sheep. IgY technology has been identified as a promising alternative to generating a mass amount of specific antibody for use in immunotherapy and immunodiagnostics. The purpose of this study was to produce specific antibody by egg yolk antibody (IgY...

background: enterotoxigenic escherichia coli (etec) strains are the major causes of diarrheal disease in humans and animals. colonization factors and enterotoxins are the major virulence factors in etec pathogenesis. for the broad-spectrum protection against etec, one could focus on colonization factors and non-toxic heat labile as a vaccine candidate. methods: a fusion protein is composed of a...

the development of a therapeutic vaccine against human papillomavirus (hpv) is important for the control of cervical cancer. e7 is the major transforming protein produced in cervical cancers, and therefore represents potential tumor-specific antigen that could be the target of immunotherapy for cervical cancer. among different vaccine strategies, protein-based vaccines are capable of generating...

b ackground: the prevalence of urinary tract infection (uti) is really high in the world. escherichia coli is a major agent of uti. one of the strategies for decreasing uti infections is vaccine development. as the attachment is a really important stage in colonization and infection, at- tachment inhibition has an applied strategy.  fimh protein is a major factor during bacterial colonization i...
