Cytokines signatures and susceptibility to cutaneous leishmaniasis in patients from Sistan and Baluchestan province of Iran.

Background: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a complex, multifactorial disease that results from environmental factors such as parasite polymorphism, phlebotomine vectors, and host genetic factors. Some studies have identified specific genetic factors that may be associated with cutaneous leishmaniasis. The objective of this research was to resolve the association of 8 cytokine polymorphisms, including TNF-α -308 A/G (rs 1800629), TNF-α -238 A/G (rs 361525), TGF-β1 -509 T/C (rs 1800469), TGF-β1+ 915 G/C (rs 1800471), IFN-γ -874 T/A (rs 2430561), IFN-γ -179 G/A (rs 2069709), IL-10 -819 C/T (rs 1800871), and IL-10 -592 A/C (rs 1800872) with susceptibility to CL.

Phage display technology for fabricating a recombinant monoclonal ScFv antibody against tetanus toxin.

Tetanus is a specific infectious disease, often associated with lower immunization in developing countries and catastrophic events (such as earthquakes). Millions of people, especially children, die every year from tetanus disease. Therefore, it is necessary to devise a rapid and sensitive detection method for tetanus toxin to ensure an early diagnosis and clinical treatment of tetanus.

To Study the Anti-cancer Effects of Shigella Flexneri in AspC-1 Pancreatic Cancer Cell Line in Approach to Bax and bcl-2 Genes.

Introduction: Cancer is the uncontrolled division of cells and can be caused by genetic or environmental factors. Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest among all cancers. The role of bacteria as an anticancer agent dates back to almost 100 years ago.

Expression Profile of miRNA-17-3p and miRNA-17-5p Genes in Gastric Cancer Patients with Helicobacter pylori Infection.

Background: The most common chronic bacterial infection is Helicobacter pylori. The connection between chronic H. pylori infection and gastric cancer is recognized.

Rapid and Sensitive Detection of Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B by Recombinant Nanobody Using Phage Display Technology.

Staphylococcal enterotoxin B, from Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), is one of the most potent bacterial superantigens with profound toxic effects on the immune system. It is associated with food poisoning, toxic shock, atopic dermatitis, asthma, and nasal polyps in humans.

Construction of human anti-tetanus single-chain variable fragment applying SYMPLEX technology.

Background: Human monoclonal antibodies are important molecules in clinical research. Current Limitations of mAb technologies namely instability of immortalized B-cell line and probability of forming unusual VH-VL pairs in phage-display method led to mAbs technology based on single plasma cell called ``SYMPLEX''.

Objective: In this method, cognate VH and VL fragments generated from individual antibody genes exactly the same as natural ones.

Construction of scFv library of human antibodies against tetanus toxin.

Background: Over the last three decades, monoclonal antibodies have become powerful therapeutics and diagnostics tools. Progress in the antibody engineering, and the appearance of great selection technology such as phage display has made human antibodies production possible against antigens with high affinities.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to construct an immune antibody library from a vaccinated donor against tetanus toxin.
