the human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulation factor (hgm-csf) gene was cloned in the pet 23a( +) expression vector under the control of strong bacteriophage t7 transcription and translation signals. the hgm-csf gene was transferred into e. coli strainbl21 (de3)plyss andiptg was used for induction of gm-csf gene. production of the target protein was obtained as revealed by elisa and weste...

recombinant protein production in e. coli has several advantages over other expression systems. misfolding, inclusion body formation, and lack of eukaryotic post translational modification are the most disadvantages of this system. exporting of correctly folded proteins to the outside of reductive cytoplasmic environment through twin-arginine system could help to pass these limiting steps. two ...

tissue plasminogen activator (tpa) is a serine protease, which is composed of five distinct structural domains with 17 disulfide bonds, representing a model of high-disulfide proteins in human body. one of the most important limitations for high yield heterologous protein production in escherichia coli (e. coli) is the expression of complex proteins with multiple disulfide bridges. in this stud...

Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), a member of TNF family, is an interesting ligand which selectively induces apoptosis in tumor cells and, therefore, it has been developed for cancer therapy. This ligand has been produced by various hosts such as E.coli. However, protein expression in E.coli cytoplasm leads to problems such as incorrect folding, reduction in biolo...

Human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (hG-CSF) induces proliferation and differentiation of granulocyte progenitor cells. This glycoprotein is currently being used for treatment of neutropenia, in patients who have undergone bone marrow transplantation. So far, different researchers have tried to enhance hG-CSF biological activity and stability. In this study, Polymerase Chain Reaction (P...

Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus (IPNV) is a member of the family Birnaviridae that has been linked to high mortalities in salmonids. Bacterial based systems as live vectors for the delivery of heterologous antigens offer a number of advantages as vaccination strategies. VP2 is a structural viral protein of IPNV with immunogenicity effects. In this study IPNV was isolated from diseased fry ...

objective: bone morphogenetic protein-7 (bmp-7) is a multifunctional growth factor predominantly recognized for its osteoinductive properties. due to the high cost of this protein, the availability of bmp-7 for treatment is limited. the heterologous production of recombinant hbmp-7 has been performed in a number of expression systems. in this study a novel form of bmp-7 was expressed in eukaryo...
