background: hepatitis c virus (hcv) is a main public health problem causing chronic liver infection and subsequently liver cirrhosis and lethal hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc). vaccination based on hcv capsid proteins has attracted a special interest for prevention of viral infections. the core protein is a basic and evolutionary most conserved protein, which regulates the cellular processes rel...

the edible mushrooms (basidomycetes) have high nutritional value, promote the immune system, and as a source of natural antimicrobial substances have been used to cure bacterial infections since ancient times.various kinds of proteins with several biological activities are produced by mushrooms. in this research, in order to evaluate antibacterial activity of edible mushrooms, we isolated prote...

Homeobox genes encode transcription factors which play important roles in the developmental processes of many multicellular organisms. TGIFLX/Y (TGIFLX and TGIFLY) are members of the homeobox superfamily of genes. Their expressions are specifically detected in the human adult testis but their functions are remained to be investigated. In this investigation we cloned full length of TGIFLY cDNA a...

introduction: lactic acid bacteria are widely used for the fermentation and preservation of dairy and meat products and to improve their aroma and texture. the aim of this study wasto screen lactobacillus plantarum isolated from sausage for detection of plasmids, protein bandsand phages, to find possible linkage of bacteriocin production to genetic location. material and methods: two lactobacil...

Fish is considered as one of the cheapest sources animal protein all over globe. It provides protein, vitamins, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids for human diets. represents national income in Egypt. The Egyptian Fisheries Authority declared 2020 that, production fish reached 1 million 920 thousand tons. Since African catfish species consumed This study was done to use fresh (Nile Karmout) (Clar...

Objective(s):Typhoid fever is a dreadful disease of a major threat to public health in developing countries. Vaccination with bacterial immunodominant components such as surface proteins may prove as a potent alternative to live attenuated vaccines. InvH, an important part of needle complex in type three secretion system (TTSS) plays important role in efficient bacterial adherence and entry int...

The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of vacuum packaging on physicochemical, microbial and sensory properties ready-to-eat pork curry with silam (Perilla frutescens [L] Britton) seeds, a traditional cuisine from Nagaland. parameters were studied at regular intervals 0, 5, 10 15 days refrigerated storage (4 ±1 °C). A significant (p<0.01) decrease in pH, moisture crude pro...

The MDR1 gene product, P-glycoprotein (PGP), was initially observed as a transport protein which was overexpressed in tumors developing resistance to chemotherapeutic agents, resulting from PGP-mediated efflux of drug from tumor cells. The physiological role of PGP although not fully understood, involves hormone and metabolite secretion, bacterial product detoxification, and transport of severa...
