Identifying Novel B Cell Epitopes within Toxoplasma gondii GRA6
The study of antigenic epitopes from Toxoplasma gondii has not only enhanced our understanding of the structure and function of antigens, the reactions between antigens and antibodies, and many other aspects of immunology, but it also plays a significant role in the development of new diagnostic reagents and vaccines. In the present study, T. gondii GRA6 epitopes were identified using bioinform...
متن کاملToxoplasma gondii myosins B/C
In apicomplexan parasites, actin-disrupting drugs and the inhibitor of myosin heavy chain ATPase, 2,3-butanedione monoxime, have been shown to interfere with host cell invasion by inhibiting parasite gliding motility. We report here that the actomyosin system of Toxoplasma gondii also contributes to the process of cell division by ensuring accurate budding of daughter cells. T. gondii myosins B...
متن کاملClone of the gene of the dense granule antigen (GRA6) of the Toxoplasma gondii pig strain.
The gene of GRA6 of Toxoplasma gondii pig strain was cloned; and the value of recombinant GRA6 as a diagnostic antigen of toxoplasmosis in China was investigated. A pair of primers was synthesized according to the DNA sequence of GRA6 of T. gondii RH strain, and the DNA of pig strain tachyzoites was prepared. A single, specific DNA fragment was successfully amplified from the genomic DNA of tac...
متن کاملTransnuclear CD8 T cells specific for the immunodominant epitope Gra6 lower acute‐phase Toxoplasma gondii burden
We generated a CD8 T-cell receptor (TCR) transnuclear (TN) mouse specific to the Ld -restricted immunodominant epitope of GRA6 from Toxoplasma gondii as a source of cells to facilitate further investigation into the CD8 T-cell-mediated response against this pathogen. The TN T cells bound Ld -Gra6 tetramer and proliferated upon unspecific and peptide-specific stimulation. The TCR beta sequence o...
متن کاملSelective and strain-specific NFAT4 activation by the Toxoplasma gondii polymorphic dense granule protein GRA6
Toxoplasma gondii infection results in co-option and subversion of host cellular signaling pathways. This process involves discharge of T. gondii effector molecules from parasite secretory organelles such as rhoptries and dense granules. We report that the T. gondii polymorphic dense granule protein GRA6 regulates activation of the host transcription factor nuclear factor of activated T cells 4...
