in this study escherichia coli de3 containing expression vector (pet21a) with cloned persian sturgeon growth hormone (psgh) gene was grown in 10 ml lb broth on a 150 rpm shaker, at the temperature of 37 °c. at the late log phase (determined by od standard curve) 100 μl isopropyl β-d-1-thiogalactopyranoside (iptg) was added for induction of gh synthesis. samples were taken every 2 hours and afte...

the purification of biomolecules is a necessary step in many biochemical researches. in this regard, developments of convenient, specific and low cost methods of purification are of particular interest. given the human hemoglobin (hb) affinity toward some charged carbohydrates, interaction of this molecule with human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) which is a glycoprotein hormone containing sialic...

two sialic acid specific lectins episesarma tetragonum agglutinin–1 and 2 were purified from the hemolymph of the mangrove crab, episesarma tetragonum . the major lectin was purified using cnbr-activated sepharose 4b conjugated to fetuin. n-acetyl glucosamine containing buffer was used for elution. the hemagglutination activity of purified lectin was inhibited by glycoproteins containing siaα, ...

cloning and expression of the l-phenylalanine dehydrogenase gene, from b. sphaericus in e. coli were done. the gene was cloned in the vector pet16b and transformed into e. coli bl21 (de3). the functional form of the l-phenylalanine dehydrogenase enzyme was purified by affinity purification techniques, taking advantage of the ability of this enzyme to bind to the nucleotide site affinity dye, re...

background: among diverse protein purification systems, affinity chromatography is the most attractive one in the purification process of coagulation factors. coagulation factor vii is a plasma serine protease that has a significant role in natural human hemostasis and its recombinant form such as aryoseventm, has been applied in clinical treatment of bleeding disorders. immunoaffinity chromato...

background: the ability of polyclonal antibodies to react with many epitopes of an antigen makes them valuable reagents in research and diagnosis. the aim of this study was purification of mouse igg2a and production of polyclonal antibody against purified mouse igg2a subclass. materials and methods: mouse igg2a was purified by proa affinity. verification method of the purified antibody was sds-...

Identification of components present in biological complexes requires their purification to near homogeneity. Methods of purification vary from protein to protein, making it impossible to design a general purification strategy valid for all cases. We have developed the tandem affinity purification (TAP) method as a tool that allows rapid purification under native conditions of complexes, even w...

Stereomicroscope The new Carl Zeiss stereomicroscope Stemi 2000-CS allows the user to view the sample whilst other observers view the procedure by video. Greenough type stereomicroscopes create their stereo effect by having separate light paths set at different angles, one for each eye. However, when video or photomicrography is being carried out most stereomicroscope systems remove light from ...

the aim of the present work was to purify cysteine protease inhibitors from rapeseed (brassica napus l.), with potential activity on digestive protease of colorado potato beetle (cpb), leptinotarsa decemlineata (say). ammonium sulfate precipitated proteinaceous fractions; 30, 50, 70, and 100% showed 39.07, 57.03, 51.47, and 22.44% inhibition on the fourth instar larval gut general protease acti...
