Abstract Background and Objectives: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease. Mucosal feeding of myelin basic protein binding to the cholera toxin B subunit can reduce the intensity of the immune response in MS patients. Expression system, the domain composition of the fusion protein, accessibility of two domains, codon adaptation index (CAI) and GC contents are v...

Abstract Background: The cysteine rich region II of Plasmodium vivax Duffy Binding Protein (PvDBP-II) is essential during merozoite invasion into the human erythrocyte and because of this biological importance, PvDBP-II is a vaccine candidate and a target for protective immunity against vivax malaria. In the present study we improved the yield of this protein by using E. coli (M15/BL21) expr...

Background and Objective: Breast cancer is the fifth common cause of death in the world and is considered as the leading cause of cancer related death among females. HER2 is a surface antigen which is overexpressed in 30% of breast cancer cases. The aim of this study was cloning of HER2 receptor gene in pCDNA3.1Hygro+ expression vector, expression of this protein in LL2 eukaryotic cell line and...

Background: Vaccines have played a special role in controlling and reducing mortality from infectious diseases. In this regard, DNA vaccines were developed to ease the production and reduce the risks of traditional vaccines. Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been introduced as the causing agent of cervical cancer. The capsid protein (L1) of HPV has been used to produce subunit and DNA vaccines. Th...

Abstract: Background: Streptokinase has been widely prescribed as a fibrinolytic agent for myocardial infarction. Simple structural characteristics of this protein have provided techniques for production of different recombinant types of this protein. The present study was designed to prepare equisimilisH46A subtype of streptokinase in our country. Materials and methods: Having extracted the...

Background and Objectives: Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative and spiral bacterium that causes stomach and duodenal disease in humans. Because of the presence of disadvantages in antibiotic therapies, increasing efforts  have been made to produce effective vaccine for this infection. The aim of this study was to generate a construct   carrying the lnT gene and to survey its...

Abstract Background and objective: Hepcidin is a cystein-rich antimicrobial peptide, which is secreted by the liver. It fights against wide spectrum of bacteria, viruses and fungi and it is a major regulator of iron homeostasis. Today, scientists have made many efforts on the production of hepcidin. Baculovirus expression system is one of the best eukaryotic expression systems for production of...
