cloning, expression and immunoreactivity of recombinant toxoplasma gondii gra5 protein

Cloning, expression and immunoreactivity of recombinant Toxoplasma gondii GRA5 protein

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Toxoplasma gondii is an obligatory intracellular parasite which causes severe diseases in the fetus of pregnant women and immunocopmromised patients. Serological tests based on recombinant protein are one of the main diagnosis methods for the detection of specific antibodies in serum samples. Dense granule antigenic proteins derived from T. gondii (TgGRAs) are potentia...

High-level expression and evaluation of the antigenicity of a recombinant Toxoplasma gondii GRA2 Protein

Toxoplasma gondii: cloning, sequencing, expression, and antigenic characterization of ROP2, GRA5 and GRA7.

Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular obligate protozoan, which infects humans and warm-blooded animals. The aim of the present study was to clone the rop2, gra5 and gra7 genes from T. gondii RH strain and to produce recombinant proteins. The rop2, gra5 and gra7 gene fragments produced by polymerase chain reaction were cloned into the pET102/D-TOPO vector which contains thioredoxin and polyhist...

Cloning rhoptry protein 1 (ROP1) gene of Toxoplasma gondii (RH) in expression vector

  Toxoplasma gondii contain various immunogenic antigens. The most important Toxoplasma antigens are somatic and excreted/secreted antigens. Rhoptry proteins are known as excreted/secreted antigens. These antigens have been proposed as a vaccine candidate against toxoplasmosis. The main objective of the present work was cloning rhoptry protein1 (ROP1) Gene of Toxoplasma gondii (RH) in a cloning...

Recombinant scFv Antibodies against P30 Surface Protein of Toxoplasma Gondii

Background & Aims: Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate, intracellular parasite, which is widely spread in the world. The parasite is able to infect all warm-blooded hosts including humans and farm animals. The infection in humans often occurs after the ingestion of raw or undercooked meat containing tissue cysts. Several methods have been applied to detect this parasite in contaminated foods. Reco...

cloning, expression and characterization of toxoplasma gondii p35 protein in e. coli

introduction: toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite which is globally prevalent in human and animals. toxoplasma infection is commonly asymptomatic, but can cause serious medical problems in immunocompromised individuals and in fetus. recombinant antigens of the parasite may be helpful in diagnosing the infection more precisely. the goal of this study was to construct and evaluate the funct...
