background and objectives: rcc is one of the most common genitourinary cancers. accurate prediction of prognosis would be valuable for adjuvant trial design, counseling and effectively scheduling follow up visits. p53 is a tumor suppressor gene that expresses a protein that involved in both cell-cycle arrests after dna damage and apoptosis. presence of mutated p53 protein in tumors has been rel...

the transcriptional factor oct4 regulates pluripotency of stem cells and has an important role during oocyte growth. whereas, its role has remained ambiguous in ovarian tissue during reproductive cycle. therefore, this study was aimed to investigate the expression patterns of oct4 in mouse ovaries during the normal estrous cycle. adult national medical research institute mice were classified as...

background: recombinant monoclonal antibodies have been marketed in last three decades as the major therapeutic proteins against different cancers. however choosing a proper medium and supplements to reach the high expression is a challenging step. despite of commercial serum free and chemically defined media, there are still numerous researches seeking the optimum media to gain higher expressi...

background: myelodysplastic syndrome is a mixed clonal disorder of bone marrow progenitor cells. understanding the pattern of the different lineage-specific, immature, and mature markers in myelodysplastic syndrome will help in setting-up the frame of reference to diagnose. patients and methods: we compared 60 bone marrow samples from 30 newly-diagnosed patients with myelodysplastic syndrome an...

inhalation of pollens from different species of acacia is a common cause of respiratory allergy in tropical areas of the world. acacia farnesiana is commonly used as street trees in towns and ornamental shade trees in parks and gardens throughout arid and semi-arid regions of asia. this study aimed to produce and purify the a. farnesiana pollen profilin (aca f 2) and evaluate its nucleotide seq...

background : there are several methods, such as vaccination, to control visceral leishmaniasis. although there is no efficient vaccine, it seem dna vaccination with stimulates both cellular and humoral immunity apparently is the best way. the aim of this study was cloning and expression of lack gene, a 36kd protein, as a can-didate protein for vaccination against iranian l.infantum. methods: ir...

hemoglobin f (hbf, α 2 γ 2 ) is a major contributor to the clinical heterogeneity and ameliorating agent observed in patients with the β-globin disorders including β-thalassemia and sickle cell disease (scd). during fetal life, hbf is the major hemoglobin but is largely substituted by adult hemoglobin (hba, α 2 β 2 ) following a globin expression switch after birth. increased γ-globin expressio...

reteplase is a part of tissue plasminogen activator (t-pa) used for theremoval of thrombi in blood vessels. in the present study we express the reteplase genein escherichia coli top10 and then its thrombolytic activity was measured. the recombinant plasmid pbadgiiia was transformed into the competent escherichia coli top10 and then transformed bacteria was seeded into bioreactor containing 1.5 ...

introduction: regulators of g-protein signaling protein negatively control g protein -coupled receptor signaling duration by accelerating gα subunit guanosine triphosphate hydrolysis. since regulator of g-protein signaling4 has an important role in modulating morphine effects at the cellular level and the exact mechanism(s) of adrenalectomy-induced morphine sensitization have not been fully cla...
