cloning, expression and immunoreactivity of recombinant toxoplasma gondii gra5 protein
Authors
abstract
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 potential antigens for the development of diagnostic tools. materials and methods: dna was extracted from t. gondii (rh-strain) tachyzoites and pcr reaction was done using corresponding primers for gra5 antigen. the pcr product was purified and ligated into ptg19-t vector and then subcloned into xho i and bam hi digested pgex6p-1 expression vector. recombinant plasmid was transformed into e. coli (bl21 de3) and induced by 1mm iptg and analyzed by 15% sds-page. expressed protein was confirmed by western blot analysis. results: there was no difference among the sequences of t. gondii gra5 gene from different isolates. the recombinant plasmid pgex-6p-1/gra5 induced by iptg was expressed in e. coli. it was a gst fusion protein and could react with human positive sera analyzed by western blot. conclusion: the gra5 gene of t. gondii isolates is highly conservative. this antigen as a recombinant protein was successfully expressed in e. coli, which showed high immunoreactivity. keywords: toxoplasma gondii, dense granule antigen; gra5, immunoreactivity

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...

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...

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...

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...
