The aim of present study was to compare the diagnostic performance of the different Brucella abortus antigen based serological and molecular tests such as Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT), indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (I-ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Out of 89 samples, 44 were positive by I-ELISA, 18 by RBPT and 21 by PCR. Substantial agreement was observed between PCR ...

A B S T R C TELISA (Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is a technique used to assessthe quantification of peptide, protein, antibody and hormone levels, basedon the principle antigen-antibody binding. In ELISA technique, antigenimmobilization will be carried out on solid surface, then bound withantibodies form an bond complex, where complex enzyme. The detection signal in formof color change fo...

background anaerobic-inducible promoters are alternatives of chemical-inducible promoters for expression of recombinant proteins especially in conditions where chemical induction is not possible or anaerobic conditions are preferable. the nirb promoter is the promoter of the first gene of nir operon in escherichia coli, which encodes nadh-dependent nitrite reductase. this promoter is naturally ...

BACK GROUND: Bluetongue virus (BTV) is recognized to infect ruminants all around the world, and its prevalence mainly depends on the BTV situation, vectors distribution, weather patterns and susceptibility of the host. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to draw a correlation between the prevalence of BTV antibodies and climate changes in Iranian Azerbaijan Province. METHODS: Sera samples...

Objectives: In present research we evaluate the expression of this critical enzyme in a eukaryotic system for future use in cheese industry. Materials and Methods: We have cloned bovine prochymosin gene in methylotrophic yeast, P. pastoris, using pPIC9K as an expression vector. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into the host by electroporation, and it was expre...
