Background: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) belongs to the family of glycoprotein hormones that composing alpha and beta subunits with non-covalently bonds. This hormone involve in regulation of the reproductive processes such as gamete generation and follicular growth. Injection of the hormone in most of fish species increases 17 beta-estradiol production by ovarian tissue and also stimulat...

objective: the secreted aspartic proteinases (sap2) of candida albicans has prominent role on candida adherence, invasion, and pathogenicity. the aim of this study was cloning, expression and characterizing of sap2 enzyme. also in this study for the first time, the expression system p. pasturis was used for expressing the recombinant protein. materials and methods: c. albicans sap2 gene was am...

with advent and development of dna recombinant technology and advantages of p. pastoris expression system, fusion (f) protein of pprv expression, because of effective immunodominant role could be an appropriate candidate for production of recombinant vaccine against ppr disease. in this study, f gene of pprv nigeria 75/1 strain (1637 bp) was amplified using rt-pcr and purified. it was then clon...

Leishmaniasis is a major infectious disease of considerable public health in more than 86 countries around the world. Several approaches toward vaccine development against this disease have been taken. Glycoprotein (gp63) is conserved among diverse species of Leishmania and has induced immunological responses in murine models. Therefore, this glycoprotein has been considered as a second generat...

collagens are the most abundant proteins in the human body. their main function is to provide structural and mechanical support for the tissues, but they are also involved in a number of other biological functions including cell attachment, migration and differentiation. collagens and gelatins are widely used in pharmaceutical and medical applications. every year, more than 50,000 tons of colla...

background: leishmania major lmsti1 is a conserved protein among different species of leishmania, and expressed in both amastigote and promastigote forms of l. major life cycle. it has previously been expressed in bacterial systems. m aterials and methods: to express lmsti1 in the methylotrophic yeast         pichia pastoris ( p. pastoris ), the shuttle vector ppicza containing gene lmsti1 was ...

Interferon is a protein secreted by eucaryotic cells following stimulation by viruses, bacteria, and many other immunogenes. Recent medical studies indicate that interferons have effective role in the treatment of virus infections, immunodeficiency and certain types of cancer such as hairy cell leukaemia (HCL). The aim of the present study is to apply yeast strain for secreting human IFNα2b fol...

Background: Bovine follicle stimulating hormone (bFSH) belongs to the family of glycoprotein hormones that are released from the pituitary gland or the placenta. This hormone is a heterodimer consisting of common α- and specific β-subunit. Bovine FSH is used for reproductive technology such as superovulation in farm animals and polycystic ovary syndrome treatment. Also this hormone is produced ...

The genome of HB V virus of serotype ayw cloned in pBR322 and expression shuttle vector p YES2 were used for construction of the HBsAg chimeric genes and their expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Two recombinant plasmids were constructed. One of them contained the coding sequences for the major polypeptide of surface antigen. Another construct carried the major polypeptide with the pre-S2 a...
