in this study fungi isolated from the effluent of ethanol factories were identified. optimal conditions for single cell protein (scp) production and cod reduction of sugar beet stillage are specified for a species of hansenula in a continuous culture. under these conditions 5.7 g dm-3 biomass was produced and 31% of cod was reduced without addition of further nutrients to the beet molasses stil...

Objective(s)  Garlic (Allium sativum) is known as a potent spice and a medicine with broad therapeutic properties ranging from antibacterial to anticancer, and anticoagulant. One of the major purified garlic protein components is the 47 kDa protein. In this study, the effect of 47 kDa protein extracted from aged garlic (AGE) was evaluated on mouse dendritic cell (DC) maturation in vitro. Mate...

Background: We have previously reported the aberrant expression of Fibromodulin (FMOD) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Although FMOD has been considered as a cytoplasmic or secretory protein, we discovered the cell surface expression of FMOD in leukemic B cells via anchoring with glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI). Objective: To evaluate FM...

programmed cell death-1 (pd-1) and its ligands, pd-l1 and pd-l2, have been regarded as important immune system regulatory molecules. the aberrant expression of the molecules has been related to several autoimmune disorders. this study is aimed to assess the mrna expression level of pd-1, pd-l1, and pd-l2 molecules in the peripheral blood mononuclear mells (pbmcs) from multiple sclerosis (ms) pa...

gene expression profiling of ovarian carcinoma tissues has shown an increase of four-fold expression of sort1 gene. sortilin 1 (ntr-3) is a 95-100 kda protein normally expressed in heart, brain, placenta, skeletal muscle, spinal cord, thyroid, and testis. however, its expression has never been reported in normal ovary. here, we report expression of sortilin 1 in ovarian carcinoma tissues both a...

background: the worldwide distribution of p. vivax has expanded significantly and the number of reported cases has been on the rise. approximately 88% of malaria cases in iran are caused by plasmodium vivax , and in order to management of the disease, understanding the population genetic structure of the parasite is necessary for designing and applying drugs and vaccines. among many potential c...

abstract background: naturally occurred hepatitis b virus (hbv) with surface mutations in a variety of chronic hepatitis b (chb) patients who have received no vaccine or hbig bearing substitutions in surface protein, have been reported. objectives: current knowledge concerning the prevalence of these naturally occurring surface antigen mutations among iranian carriers is limited. patients and m...
