objective(s):despite of wide range applications of polymeric nanoparticles in protein delivery, there are some problems for the field of protein entrapment, initial burst and controlled release profile.   materials and methods: in this study, we investigated the influence of some changes in plga nanoparticles formulation to improve the initial and controlled release profile. selected parameters ...

peptide and protein drugs have found an important position in therapeutics. recent advances in pharmaceutical biotechnology have led to an increase in the number of protein products in the market. as these therapeutic proteins and peptides are made available, it will be essential to formulate these drugs into safe and effective delivery systems. the twenty different naturally occurring amino ac...

objective: dna vaccines have been widely used to develop immunity against various pathogens including parasites and viruses. the potential of dna vaccine to induce an effective immune response is related to the expression levels of the encoded protein in eukaryotic cells. therefore, optimization of plasmid dna delivery system is a major concern in protein expression in order to make an efficien...

In recent years, encapsulation of drugs and antigens in hydrogels, specifically in calcium alginate particles, is an interesting and practical technique that was developed widespread. It is well known that alginate solution, under proper conditions, can form suitable nanoparticles as a promising carrier system, for vaccine delivery. The aim of this study was to synthesis alginate nanoparticles ...

Induction of protein synthesis by the external delivery of in-vitro transcription-messenger RNA (IVT-mRNA) has been a useful approach in the realm of cell biology, disease treatment, ‎reprogramming of cells, and vaccine design. Therefore, the development of new formulations for ‎protection of mRNA against nucleases is required to maintain its activity in-vivo. It was the aim o...

Protein status of 194 pregnant women and their newborn at a public and a private maternity hospital in Tehran was studied. Blood samples were taken from all women before delivery and from cords at delivery of the placenta. The following determinations were made: total serum protein, protein fractions, creatinine and urea. In the private group, significantly higher maternal mean values were...

background: the poor permeability of the plasma and nuclear membranes to dna plasmids are two major barriers for the development of these therapeutic molecules. therefore, success in gene therapy approaches depends on the development of efficient and safe non-viral delivery systems. objectives: the aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro delivery of plasmid dna encoding hpv16 e7 gene ...
