conclusions these results demonstrated that the recombinant lysostaphin produced in this study was able to kill nasal s. aureus in rats. it can be recommended for human clinical trial studies. results recombinant lysostaphin at 100 μg/ml concentration showed a significant decrease of the optical density compared to the control samples. the in vivo study demonstrated that a single dose (200 μg/d...

The importance of rainbow trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss) in Iran aquaculture industry on one hand, and increasing the mortality of this fish due to outbreaks of infectious diseases, on the other hand, indicate the requirement for more profound understanding the rainbow trout immune system and access to laboratory tools for definitive diagnosis of its diseases. One of the most important defense me...

Background: Thrombopoietin is a glycoprotein produced by liver and kidney which is responsible for regulating the platelet production. Thrombopoietin is a key ligand with impact on regulating the self-renewal of Hematopoietic stem cells and the regulation of Megakaryocytes progenitors. Previous studies have indicated that only N-terminal domain of this protein has receptor promoting ability. Th...

background: the over-expression of recombinant proteins in large amount is important for production of therapeutic proteins and structural study. there are several systems for expression of recombinant proteins. one of the most relevant expression systems is escherichia coli (e. coli). although this organism has many advantages, most of recombinant proteins expressed in e. coli hosts form inclu...

Background: The production of recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli is one of the most valuable achievements in biotechnology, with many therapeutic and diagnostic applications; however, the aggregation and misfolding of proteins that result in the formation of insoluble inclusion bodies is a disruptive factor in this process. Various solubilization and refolding methods can be used to impro...

background: the purity and correct folding of a recombinant protein is critical for any structural, biochemical and vaccine design studies. plasmodium vivax duffy binding protein-ii is a leading vaccine candidate for vivax malaria. in the present study, the purification process of recombinant dbp-ix (a variant form of pvdbp-ii) was optimized to achieve the highest yield and purity. moreover, na...

Diversity among the pathogenic strains of Theileria equi (T. equi), a major agent of equine piroplasmosis, can affect the appropriate detection of parasite and host immunization. Production of recombinant surface proteins from an infected horse in natural endemic area provides a reliable tool for immunodiagnosis of parasite. Regarding this, the present study was targeted toward the cloning, exp...

objective(s):multi-epitopic protein vaccines and direction of vaccine delivery to dendritic cells (dcs) are promising approaches for enhancing immune responses against mutable pathogens. escherichia coli is current host for expression of recombinant proteins, and it is important to optimize expression condition. the aim of this study was the optimization of multi-epitopic hiv-1 tat/pol/gag/env ...
