We developed a high-throughput technique for the generation of cDNA libraries in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae which enables the selection of cloned cDNA inserts containing open reading frames (ORFs). For direct screening of random-primed cDNA libraries, we have constructed a yeast shuttle/expression vector, the so-called ORF vector pYEXTSH3, which allows the enriched growth of protein exp...

the hepatitis b surface antigen ( hbsag) gene was isolated from an iranian hbeag positive carrier by pcr. the gene was cloned in puc19 for sequencing and pyes2 for expression in saccharomyces cerevisiae, which pnf1 and pdf3 constructs were made respectively. the sequencing data showed that the isolated hbsag gene shared more than 90% homology with the ayw subtype. the pdf3 was transferred into ...

objective: the aim of this study was to construct a pcdna3.1+ vector containing fmdv type o/irn/1/2007-vp1 gene, protein expression in bhkt7 cells and evaluation of immune response in balb/c mice. materials and methods: fmdv type o/irn/1/2007 was isolated from a cattle in ray in 2007 and serotyped. the purified vp1 gene was sub-cloned into the ptz57r/t vector and pcdna3.1+ expression vector. t...

Abstract Background Orf virus (ORFV) is a member of the genus Parapoxvirus and family Poxviridae. The has worldwide distribution infects sheep, goats, humans, wild animals. However, due to complex structure poxvirus, underlying mechanism entry infection by ORFV remains largely unknown. ORF047 encodes protein named L1R. Poxviral L1R serves as receptor-binding blocks binding independently glycosa...

Background: Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) plays an essential role in reproductive physiology and follicular development. Objective: A new variant of the equine fsh (efsh) gene was cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Pichia pastoris (P. pastoris) GS115 yeast expression system. Materials and Methods: The full-length cDNAs of the efshα and efshβ chains were amplified by reverse transcriptio...

background & objective: streptococcosis is one of the bacterial infections in fish, especially rainbow trout which infects brain and nervous systems of fish and is caused by s. iniae . estimation of the impact of disease prevalence by s. iniae in fish farming in some countries is reported about 100 million dollars per year. some of the most effective proteins in pathogenicity of these bacteria ...

background: finding shows that there were several problems in the treatment of helicobacter pylori infection such as the emergence of resistance to the antibiotics, the risk of recrudescence, and the high cost of treatment. the ineffectiveness of conventional treatment mechanisms against cancer cells reveals the importance of peptides as a novel therapeutic approach. however, the short length o...

background: rna interference (rnai) is the mechanism of gene silencing-mediated messenger rna degradation by small interference rna (sirna), which becomes a powerful tool for in vivo research, especially in the areas of cancer. in this research, the potential use of an expression vector as a specific sirna producing tool for silencing of bcr-abl in k562 cell line has been investigated. methods:...
