In recent years, the cloning technology has remarkably developed Iran, but unfortunately, the required legal framework has not been created to support and protect such developments yet. This legal gap may lead to abuse of scientific researches to obtain illegal benefits and to undermine the intellectual property rights of scientists and researchers. Thus to prevent such consequences, the attemp...

Abstract Background: Factor VII, is a coagulant protease it begins the proteolytic cascade reactions and produces thrombin. The use of recombinant human factor VII, (rhFVII) is effective for the treatment of patients with hemophilia A or B. It is a target for gene therapy. This study was done to clone factor VII from HepG2 cell line. Methods: RNA was extracted from the hepatoma, (HepG2), ...
