The Kinetics of Neutrophils in Photodynamic Theraphy as anti-Tumor
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is known for its antitumor property. PDT uses a photosensitizer combined with light to kill cancer cells. Different to other non-surgical cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy which suppress immune system, it is suggested that PDT promotes an accumulation of neutrophils causing destruction of tumor cells

The Influence of Shahwah on the Behavior of Man: a Comparative Study of the Qur’anic and the neo-Classical Secular Concepts
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The neo-classical secularist school sees man as an economic material object whose sole objective is to maximize his unlimited worldly Shahwah. He has no control over his Shahwah. His value is measured by his ability to convert that Shahwah into material unlimited wants. He has no naÎÊb in Ókhirah. On the other hand, the Qur’Én looks at Shahwa

Recombinant Enzyme: Cloning and Expression
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This chapter will discuss the general strategies of cloning recombinant enzymes from identifying a suitable DNA template to choosing the correct host expression system. However, there is no standard operating procedure for cloning a recombinant enzyme. The best strategies should be based on the researcher’s creativity and experiences.ixContents 1

Functional Characterization of Recombinant Bromelain
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Stem bromelain is a plant protease with a number of industrial and therapeutic applications. This study investigated the functional properties of commercial bromelain and recombinant bromelain (expressed in E. coli BL 21-AI). In vitro cytotoxicity assays were conducted to evaluate the effect of both bromelains on tumour cell lines (murine melanoma

Case Study: Recombinant Bromelain Downstream Processing
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This chapter presents details on the purification, formulation and drying of recombinant bromelain. The wide range of applications of recombinant bromelain has increased interest in finding viable purification techniques for large-scale production. An affinity chromatography technique was developed by Amid and co-workers (Expression, purification,

Case Study: Recombinant Bromelain Cloning, Characterization and Upstream Processes
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This chapter presents the recombinant stem bromelain cloning procedure followed by its characterization and finally upstream processing. Most of the procedures had patents filed in Malaysia, Europe and the United State of America with application numbers PI 20095434, 10015711.4, and 12968766, respectively. Portions of the experimental procedures we

Common Laboratory Procedure
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This chapter presents all common laboratory procedures or protocols that researchers normally perform during studies of recombinant enzyme production. The principle and theory behind each experiment is presented to help the reader understand each step that is conducted in an experiment so the reader will be able to select and modify the procedures

Case Study: Recombinant Bromelain Selection
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This chapter presents an investigation that we performed prior to the decision to proceed cloning and producing recombinant bromelain. The criteria that we examined were the following: (1) easy access to a DNA source; (2) broad application; (3) an enzyme size amenable to the cloning strategy; (4) available data in free online databases; (5) broad i
