        . Cloned vaccines are used in many countries nowadays. One of the ways for cloning a virus is propagation of the virus on cell culture to obtain discrete different plaques in order to study their morphology and genetics. In this study monolayer Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cell cultures were prepared by standard method. Various dilutions of the viruses were inoculated into monolayer MDCK cell cultures that were supplemented with magnesium sulfate and trypsin, and over laid with agar medium. The viruses could reproduce on these cells and caused cytopathic effect and plaques. At 10-6 virus dilution, 6 various shape and size discrete plaques were obtained and inoculated into allantoic fluid 9-11 days embryonated eggs. After 48 hrs, the allantoic fluids contain plaques were harvested and their RNA extracted. Cleavage site of fusion protein, with RT-PCR test was performed and the PCR products were purified and sequenced. The sequences of nucleotides and amino acids for each plaque were compared with those of the registered strain at gene bank as well as with each other. Molecular studies showed that all plaques are lentogenic strain of Newcastle disease virus and has about 97% to 99% homology with the strain V4 in the gene bank. The aim of this study is produce clear plaque by V4 strain of NDV on MDCK cell line and studies the molecular variations among them. Manuscript profile

        Recently, nidoviruses have been described as a possible cause of severe respiratory diseases in reptiles and especially pythons from different parts of the world. The aim of this study is to isolate the pathogenic agent along with the precise determination of its characteristics and to examine the histopathological findings in a female iguana. During the iguana post-mortem examination, pyogranulomatous and fibronecrotic lesions were observed in various organs other than the respiratory system, and the results of the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction were also positive. Therefore, the relationship between the observation of these extensive lesions and the Necropsy findings obtained from Previous cases of serpanovirus infection and the amount and type of changes in the genome of the serpentovirus identified with the previous serpentovirus were investigated. Cell culture inoculation and then RT-PCR was used to collect and obtain the virus isolate. Next, immunohistochemistry was performed. Staining for the nucleoprotein of the serpentine virus showed that this virus infects not only a wide range of epithelia (respiratory and gastrointestinal epithelium, hepatocytes, urinary tubules, pancreatic ducts, etc.), but also contaminates the intravascular monocytes, intralesional macrophages, and endothelial cells too. With next-generation sequencing, the complete genome for this new serpentine virus species was obtained.The analysis of the viral genome recovered from this respiratory and systemic disease associated with serpentine virus infection did not show a sequence correlation with the phenotype of other strains. The results showed that this serpentine virus has a wide cell and tissue tropism, and the course of infection by it can be different, and as a result of the systemic spread of the virus in the body, it causes lesions in a wide range of different body systems.

        Silk fibroin (SF) is a natural fibrous protein that has been widely studied for application in the biomedical field as a matrix for tissue engineering. Pure fibroin was extracted from silk cocoon by degumming method using aqueous Na2CO3 solution followed by solubilizing in CaCl2-C2H5OH-H2O aqueous solution and frozen in liquid nitrogen, then lyophilized in freeze-dryer. SF fibers with diameters down to the nanometer range are formed by subjecting a fluid jet to a high electric field. The electrospinning of the SF sponge was performed with formic acid, as a spinning solvent, at 7% (w/w) fibroin concentration. In this regard, electrospinning parameters including voltage, flow rate, and distance were used as variable parameters, and the effect of changes in these parameters was investigated. The morphology of SF nanofibers was characterized by SEM. As the flow-rate increased, the available polymer volume was high which increased the nanofiber diameter. Also the lower the solution flow-rate, the smaller the diameter of the resultant electrospun nanofibers and bead defects. With an increase in the distance between the capillary and the collector the nanofiber diameter initially decreased to a minimum and then increased. Manuscript profile

        Objective: This study was performed to synthesize electrospun silk fibroin scaffold and to investigate the time-dependent effect of its pre-incubation in culture medium on the adhesion and proliferation of cells seeded on the scaffold. Methods: sericin was removed from silk cocoon and fibrin solution (3% w/v) was prepared using formic acid. Then, electrospun silk fibroin scaffold was made using lab-scale electrospinning machine and evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. Pre-incubation of scaffolds in culture medium was performed for 0, 1, 6, and 10 days and the hydrophilicity of scaffolds was evaluated by measuring the water contact angle. Rat bone marrow mesenchymal cells were then isolated, cultured, and seeded on scaffolds. After 21 days of cell seeding, cell viability (MTT method) and genomic DNA concentration of cells attached to the scaffold were evaluated. Results: The results showed that increasing the pre-incubation time in the culture medium decreased the water contact angle and increased the survival and proliferation of cells. In general, the present study showed that pre-incubation of electrospun fibroin scaffold with constant elasticity in culture medium leads to increased scaffold hydrophilicity and consequently increases the proliferation and survival of mesenchymal cells seeded on it. Conclusion: these findings can be used as an effective factor in seeding cartilage cell on scaffolds in tissue engineering. Manuscript profile

        Single layer and functionally graded coatings of hydroxyapatite and TiO2 particles were deposited on Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy substrate by electrophoretic deposition technique (EPD). The coatings chemical composition and morphology were investigated using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. The results showed in HA/TiO2 functionally graded coating, the composition varied from inner layer to top layer as 100 %wt TiO2 to 100 %wt HA. To investigation biocompatibility of the coatings, the culture Wharton’s Mesenchymal Stem Cells was used. The results showed the HA/TiO2 functionally graded coating and HA single layer coating were more biocompatible in comparison to TiO2 single layer coating. The adhesion strengths of the coatings were measured by shear testing and the results showed that the HA/TiO2 functionally graded coating has more adhesion strength (~31 MPa) compare to HA single layer.
