background and objectives: annexin is the common name for genes and proteins that were identified as calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins. recently a more complex set of functions has been recognized for this superfamily of proteins including in vesicle trafficking, cell division, apoptosis, calcium signalling, mineralization, crystal nucleation inside the extracellular organelles-ma...

background: previous studies have shown that leukemogenic chromosomal translocations, including fusions between break point cluster region (bcr) and abelson (abl) are present in the peripheral blood of healthy individuals. the aim of this study was to gain insights into the genetic alterations other than bcr-abl translocation in molecular level, which cause chronic myeloid leukemia (cml). metho...

background bovine viral diarrhea (bvd) is an economically important disease of cattle with a worldwide distribution. diagnosis of bvd relies on laboratory-based detections of its viral causing agent or virus specific antibodies. the most common laboratory method used for this purpose is the elisa. bovine viral diarrhea virus (bvdv) nonstructural protein 3 (ns3) is one of the most highly conserv...

Despite significant advances in the identification of known proteins, the analysis of unknown proteins by MS/MS still remains a challenging open problem. Although Klaus Biemann recognized the potential of MS/MS for sequencing of unknown proteins in the 1980s, low throughput Edman degradation followed by cloning still remains the main method to sequence unknown proteins. The automated interpreta...

Background: Subunit vaccines are appropriate vaccine candidates for the prevention of some infections. In this study, three immunogenic proteins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, including HspX, Ppe44, and EsxV as a new construction, were expressed alone and as a fusion protein to develop a new vaccine candidate against tuberculosis infection. Methods: To make the fusion protein, the three genes ...

results cloning and subcloning of the flic gene were confirmed by colony pcr, restriction enzymes digestion and dna sequencing of the recombinant plasmids pprime-flic and pvax-flic. the expression of flagellin protein in eukaryotic cells was approved by immunofluorescence assay (ifa), western blotting analysis and the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) method. conclusions t...
