Abstract:
... The intensive salmon farming is associated with massive outbreaks of infections. The use of antibiotics for their prevention and control is related to damage to the environment and human health. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been proposed as an alternative to the use of antibiotics for their antimicrobial and immunomodulatory activities. However, one of the main challenges for its massive cli ...

Abstract:
... Recently, several methods were developed to detect genetically modified (GM) bacteria, allowing to screen for the potential presence of bacteria and to prove bacterial GM contaminations in fermentation products (such as FE). To obtain a first overview of the possible contamination of FE with GM bacteria, a general workflow was proposed, combining recently developed detection methods. Those methods ...

Abstract:
... OBJECTIVES: A potent HIV vaccine should overcome some limitations such as polymorphism of human HLA, the diversity of HIV-1 virus, and the lack of an effective delivery system. In this study, a DNA construct encoding Nef₆₀–₈₄, Nef₁₂₆–₁₄₄, Vpr₃₄–₄₇, Vpr₆₀–₇₅, Gp160₃₀–₅₃, Gp160₃₀₈–₃₂₃, and P24₈–₁₅₁ epitopes was designed using bioinformatics tools. The pcDNA3.1-nef-vpr-gp160-p24 and pcDNA3.1-nef cons ...
