The objective of this research was to investigate the influence of the over-expression of recombinant interferon-g during high cell density cultivation on cellular characteristics of recombinant E. coli. Batch and fed-batch culture techniques were employed to grow Escherichia coli BL21 for production of human gamma-interferon in pET expression system. Final cell densities in batch and fed-batch...

The central serotonin (5-HT) neurotransmitter system is an important modulator of diverse physiological processes and behaviors; however, the transcriptional mechanisms controlling its development are largely unknown. The Pet-1 ETS factor is a precise marker of developing and adult 5-HT neurons and is expressed shortly before 5-HT appears in the hindbrain. Here we show that in mice lacking Pet-...

hepcidin is an innate immune element which decreases the iron absorption from diet and iron releasing from macrophage cell. in contrast to the chemical iron chelators, there has been limited effort applied to the specific use of hepcidin as a new drug for decreasing the iron overload. hepcidin is produced in different biological systems. for instance, e-coli is used for human hepcidin expressio...

Chicken infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) causes severe respiratory and renal dysfunction in chickens. In the present study, we used reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to amplify the nucleocapsid (N) protein gene of strain Massachusetts (Mass) H120 of IBV that is commonly used in the vaccine production in Iran. The PCR product with the expected size of 1.2 kb was cloned in...

objective(s): expression of her2 in gastric carcinoma has direct prognostic and therapeutic implications in patient management. the aim of this study is to determine whether a relationship exists between standardized uptake value (suv) and expression of her2 in advanced gastric carcinoma. methods: we analyzed the 18f-fdg pet/ct results of 109 patients that underwent gastrectomy for advanced gas...

Background: Tuberculosis as a global health problem requires special attention in the contexts of prevention and control. Subunit vaccines are promising strategies to protect burdens of tuberculosis via increasing the BCG protection. The present study aimed to design a vaccine study by means of high-throughput expression and correct refolding of recombinant protein PPE17. Methods: We aimed to c...

The impending influenza virus pandemic requires global vaccination to prevent large-scale mortality and morbidity, but traditional influenza virus vaccine production is too slow for rapid responses. In this study, bacterial system has been developed for expression and purification of properly folded HA1 antigen as a rapid response to emerging pandemic strains. Here, a recombinant H5N1 (A/Indone...

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 ...
