Evaluating the serological applications of Toxoplasma gondii rhoptry protein 1 (ROP1) antigen
Introduction: Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is distributed worldwide and infects most species. The serious incidence and severe or fatal injury caused by T. gondii infection clearly indicates the necessity for the event of a vaccine. The current study goals were to evaluate serological applications of Toxoplasma gondiirhoptry protein 1 (ROP1) ...
متن کاملStructural and functional characterization of SporoSAG: a SAG2-related surface antigen from Toxoplasma gondii.
Toxoplasma gondii, the etiological agent of toxoplasmosis, utilizes stage-specific expression of antigenically distinct glycosylphosphatidylinositol-tethered surface coat proteins to promote and establish chronic infection. Of the three infective stages of T. gondii, sporozoites are encapsulated in highly infectious oocysts that have been linked to large scale outbreaks of toxoplasmosis. SporoS...
متن کاملRecombinant MAG1 Protein of Toxoplasma gondii as a Diagnostic Antigen.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential diagnostic usefulness of the full-length recombinant Toxoplasma gondii MAG1 protein by determining the levels of specific IgM and IgG antibodies in mouse and human sera obtained from individuals with acute and chronic toxoplasmosis. The obtained results revealed that IgG antibodies against MAG1 are a sensitive and specific marker of T. gondii ...
متن کاملon the comparison of keyword and semantic-context methods of learning new vocabulary meaning
the rationale behind the present study is that particular learning strategies produce more effective results when applied together. the present study tried to investigate the efficiency of the semantic-context strategy alone with a technique called, keyword method. to clarify the point, the current study seeked to find answer to the following question: are the keyword and semantic-context metho...
15 صفحه اولIncreased Expression of Toxoplasma Gondii GRA1 Suppresses Host Cell Apoptosis
Suppression of host cell apoptosis enable Toxoplasma gondii to proliferate, but the mechanism is not well understood. We explore the relationship between the expression of T. gondii dense granule protein 1 (GRA1) and host HeLa cell apoptosis. We inserted the T. gondii gra1 coding gene into a pET32a vector and produced recombinant GRA1 (rGRA1) in E. coli Rosetta strain. We then immunized rabbits...
