Inspired by the seminal work of Anfinsen, investigations of the folding of small water-soluble proteins have culminated in detailed insights into how these molecules attain and stabilize their native folds. In contrast, despite their overwhelming importance in biology, progress in understanding the folding and stability of membrane proteins remains relatively limited. Here we use mutational ana...

background: vp4 protein is as spikes on rotavirus outer capsid shell which is responsible for virus attachment to the host. vp4 induces production of neutralizing antibodies which could be used for serotyping of different isolates. methods: simian rotavirus sa11 gene 4 cdna was cloned into a cloning plasmid pdonrtm by recombination reaction using clonase ii enzyme mix. the resulting clone was c...

Antisera to the major outer membrane protein of Vibrio cholerae (molecular weight, 48,000) raised in rabbits (i) agglutinated several strains of V. cholerae and (ii) immunoprecipitated outer membrane proteins prepared from both the biotypes and serotypes of V. cholerae. Antibodies of all isotypes to the major outer membrane protein were detected in immune human sera by enzyme-linked immunosorbe...

Let's read! We will often find out this sentence everywhere. When still being a kid, mom used to order us to always read, so did the teacher. Some books are fully read in a week and we need the obligation to support reading. What about now? Do you still love reading? Is reading only for you who have obligation? Absolutely not! We here offer you a new book enPDFd trends in inflammatory bowel dis...

BACKGROUND/AIM Outer inflammatory protein A (OipA) is an important adhesin of Helicobacter pylori. Our goal was to assess the role of OipA in protection of C57BL/6 mice against H. pylori. MATERIALS AND METHODS C57BL/6 mice were mucosally immunized with recombinant OipA protein, OipA + propolis, propolis, and phosphate-buffered saline. After vaccination, anti-OipA IgA was measured. Mice were c...

a murine igm monoclonal antibody (ma-2c6) with κ-light chains directed against an antigenic determinant of outer surface protein a (ospa) of the lyme disease spirochete, borreliaburgdorferi, is produced. this antibody could bind specifically to ospa antigen of several isolates of b. burgdorferi, but not to the non-lyme disease bacteria such as t. pallidum and b. hermsii. antibody ma-2c6 was pur...

In response to ionizing radiation, p53 plays a critical role in regulating DNA repair and apoptosis. Among multiple phosphorylation sites, evidence suggests that Ser46 promotes apoptotic cell death through mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP) and subsequent activation of the caspase 7-PARP pathway. Therefore, we investigated which phosphatase regulates Ser46 after ionizing radia...

helicobacter pylori infection, the most common chronic bacterial infection in the world, and an important cause of gastrointestinal disorders, may be involved in the pathogenesis of some extra-gastrointestinal disturbances, as well as an increase in blood levels of certain inflammatory markers. anti-bacterial activity against helicobacter pylori and anti-inflammatory properties of omega-3 fatty...
