purpose: in order to express human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (hgm-csf) under heat shock. materials and methods: two expression plasmids were constructed based on pbc(sk) plasmid. the expression cassettes in the two plasmids are equipped with a 75 base pair fragment, derived from the pl promoter of the bacteriophage lambda (λ). the plasmids also contain a temperature muta...

objective: the incidence of breast cancer is approximately one million which makes this cancer one of the most common among women worldwide. breast cancer comprises 7% of the total death rate caused by cancers. several strategies that use tumor-associated antigen (taa) vaccination and early detection of breast cancer are clinically being developed. breast cancer is caused by increased over expr...

A recombinant Factor VIII (Factor VIII-delta II) consists of a unique polypeptide chain of 165 kDa deleted from the major part of the B-domain and from the cleavage site at Arg-1648-Glu-1649 found in plasma-derived Factor VIII. It was expressed in mammalian cells in serum-free medium containing von Willebrand factor and purified by a one-step immunopurification. The recombinant Factor VIII was ...

Background and objectivesThe overexpression mutation of EGFRs are associated with various types human cancers. Epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFRvIII) is one the most notable EGFR mutations, exclusively present in cancer cells, making it a potential therapeutic target. The study aims to determine whether recombinant immunotoxin 86 (rIT86) can effectively kill EGFRvIII-expressing...

with the aim of the secretion of human granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (hgm-csf) in escherichia coli, hgm-csf cdna was fused in-frame next to the signal sequence of st toxin (st-i) of exteroxigenic e. coli, containing 53 or 19 amino acids of signal peptide. the fused stsig::hgm-csf coding fragments were inserted into a t7-based expression plasmid. the recombinant plasmids were ...

growing applications of phenylalanine dehydrogenase (phedh) enzyme in the medical and pharmaceutical industries encourages researchers to seek simple, fast and economical alternative purification methods. with goal of finding a new technique, the extraction and purification of recombinant bacillus badius phedh in polyethylene glycol 6000 (peg-6000) and ammonium sulfate aqueous two-phase systems...
