    Abstract:

Applications: 1. The present invention provides a simple and cost-effective method of increasing stability and storage time of a protein antigen. This method is used to obtain stable Shigella dysenteriae IpaC protein with higher yield that can be stored for longer duration without changing its secondary structure. 2. The present invention discloses an effective vaccine against Shigellosis which was found to be protective in BALBc mice against a more than lethal challenge of Shigella flexneri. The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a simple and cost-effective method of increasing stability and storage time of a protein antigen having potential vaccine applications.
Advantages: 1. Purification of protein for various purposes such as vaccine, diagnostic kits for disease detection/detection of a condition, health industry, food industry, etc. 2. Due to reduced cost and energy it would allow easy manufacturing of therapeutic proteins. 3. Increased durability means more shelf life or storage time. 4. As the protein can be stable at room temperature, storage in cold temperature or transportation in ice or dry ice can be reduced or negated. This can help target developing countries where cold storage may be a hindrance due to disruptive or absence of continuous electricity supply. 5. IpaC can be used along with other therapeutic proteins to form a multivaccine formulation i.e., a single vaccine protecting against multiple diseases.

THE VISION
THE MISSION
ABOUT I-STEM
It has always been the basic tenet of the Government of India, in generously funding R&D efforts at academic institutions over the years, that facilities established through such support be made available to those needing them and qualified to make use of them for their own research work

However, this was never easy or straightforward for, among other reasons, there was no ready source of information of what facility was available and where. Thanks to the Web, it is much easier today to have a national and regional “inventory of resources”, so as to match users with the resources they need, and to do all this in an efficient and transparent manner.

This can lead to a leap in R&D productivity and greatly enhance the effectiveness of public investment. This is the motivation behind I-STEM.
