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...

background: the purpose of this study was to clone, express, and purify a novel multidomain fusion protein of micobacterium tuberculosis (mtb) in a prokaryotic system. methods: an hspx/esxs gene construct was synthesized and ligated into a pgh plasmid, e. coli top10 cells were transformed, and the vector was purified. the vector containing the construct and pet-21b (+) plasmid were digested wit...

Background: The production of recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli is one of the most valuable achievements in biotechnology, with many therapeutic and diagnostic applications; however, the aggregation and misfolding of proteins that result in the formation of insoluble inclusion bodies is a disruptive factor in this process. Various solubilization and refolding methods can be used to impro...

background and aims: since the produced recombinant proteins by molecular genetics techniques commonly have some limitations in the application, chimeric protein are introduced. chimeric proteins have found widespread application for the study of protein folding, structure stability, function and immunogenisity. methods: according to the known immunomodulatory effect and structure of hsp70 mole...

Background: Tuberculosis as a global health problem requires special attention in the contexts of prevention and control. Subunit vaccines are promising strategies to protect burdens of tuberculosis via increasing the BCG protection. The present study aimed to design a vaccine study by means of high-throughput expression and correct refolding of recombinant protein PPE17. Methods: We aimed to c...

HIGHLIGHTS Recombinant protein formulations for the accurate diagnosis of TB are presented. Formulations ESAT6:CFP10 proteins present long shelf life at room temperature. Protein effective in diagnosing active TB, vitro and vivo.

background : toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite, capable of infecting all species of mammals including man. congenital toxoplasmosis is more important during pregnancy for the first time. in this study we expressed and purified p43 toxoplasma gondii tachyzoite and bradyzoite specific surface antigen. methods : the recombinant pgemex-1 contained toxoplasma p43 codi...

background: targeting of cd20 antigen with monoclonal antibodies has become the mainstay in the treatment of non-hodgkin's lymphomas and immunotherapeutic depletion of malignant b cells. accessibility of antigen is one of the crucial factors in development of monoclonal antibodies against this antigen. one major problem in expression of full length cd20 is aggregation and misfolding. there...
