introduction: haemophilia a is the most common inherited x-linked recessive bleeding disorder. the severity of the resultant bleeding diathesis depends on the fviii levels associated with the mutation. analysis of carrier state can be made indirectly by dna linkage analysis or directly by identifying the mutation that leads to the disease. the aim of this study was to identification of the caus...

background and aims. recent epidemiological studies have shown that individuals with periodontitis have a significantly higher risk of developing coronary heart disease, which might be attributed to the complex microbiota in the dental plaque. periodontopathogens have been reported as risk factors for cardiovascular disease. this study evaluated association of chronic periodontitis and periodon...

background:influenza virus is globally pathogenic and it is usually associated with zoonotic respiratory diseases. this virus has caused a number of pandemics with a high mortality rate. the non-structural (ns1) protein of influenza a viruses is a non-essential virulence factor that has multiple accessory functions during viral infection. this protein is highly conservative. it has been shown t...

Objective(s) Staphylococcus aureus is a foremost source of numerous nosocomial and community acquired infections. Antibiotic therapy for vancomycin resistant S. aureus (VRSA) can not promise the eradication of infections. Since adhesion is the major route of infections, adhesin based vaccine could suppress S. aureus infections. Fibronectin binding protein A (FnBPA) and clumping factor A (ClfA)...

objective: breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death in women worldwide. conventional treatments use cytotoxic drugs which have high numbers of side effects. currently pharmacologists are searching for novel drugs with fewer side effects and maximum efficiency as breast cancer treatment. the aim of the current study is to clarify the cytotoxicity effect of the recombinant outer membra...

background and aims: the ectodomain of matrix protein of influenza virus is a weak immunogen that is highly conserved among all subtypes of influenza a virus. tandem repeats of these genes along with linker were used to enhance immunogenicity of m2e protein and so it can be served as a universal vaccine in both humans and livestock. materials and methods: in this study, the sequences of extra-d...
