Inflammatory breast cancer: New factors contribute to disease etiology: A review.

Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a highly metastatic and fatal form of breast cancer. In fact, IBC is characterized by specific morphological, phenotypic, and biological properties that distinguish it from non-IBC. The aggressive behavior of IBC being more common among young women and the low survival rate alarmed researchers to explore the disease biology.

Characterization, cloning and expression of NS3 protein gene of hepatitis C genotype 4a.

Clone and express NS3 gene of the Egyptian strain ED43 of HCV genotype 4a in E. coli was studied. Gene and protein sequences of NS3 gene of the ED43 strain were first analyzed using PC/GENE program.

Identification, cloning and expression of core protein gene of hepatitis C genotype 4a.

Although Egypt has very high rates of HCV, not much is known about genotype 4a which is the most predominant genotype in Egypt. In the present study, core (C_ED43) gene of the Egyptian strain ED43 of HCV genotype 4a was first analyzed using PC/GENE program. Computer analysis of Core region of the isolate ED43 revealed that the Egyptian genotype 4a is different from those isolated from Europe and Central Africa and that it is closely related to genotype 1b.
