Genetic typing methods of T. gondii strains have been extensively perfected in recent years. From a technical point of view, many tools usable for genetic studied on single-copy loci have been used: RFLP, PCR-RFLP, sequencing, RAPD-PCR and isoenzyme analysis. We described the cloning and sequence analysis of the gene which encodes the major surface antigen (SAG1 or P30) of T. gondii. SAG1 is ...

BACKGROUND . Modern biological research is highly dependent upon recombinant DNA technology. Conventional cloning methods are time-consuming and lack uniformity. Thus, biological research is in great need of new techniques to rapidly, systematically and uniformly manipulate the large sets of genes currently available from genome projects. RESULTS . We describe a series of new cloning methods ...

BACKGROUND Over the last decades, molecular cloning has transformed biological sciences. Having profoundly impacted various areas such as basic science, clinical, pharmaceutical, and environmental fields, the use of recombinant DNA has successfully started to enter the field of cellular engineering. Here, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) represents one of the most essential tools. Due to the...

Background: Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is over-expressed in breast, ovarian, gastric, and prostate cancers used as a tumor marker the diagnosis of cancer. Monoclonal antibodies have been diagnostic therapeutic tool against HER2. Because difficulties associated with stability complexity construct high cost antibody production, we aimed to investigate, cloning, expression HER...
