Introduction
Toxoplasma gondii is a species of parasitic protozoa in the genus Toxoplasma. The definitive host of T. gondii is the cat, but the parasite can be carried by many warm-blooded animals (birds or mammals, including humans). Toxoplasmosis, the disease of which T. gondii is the causative agent, is usually minor and self-limiting but can have serious or even fatal effects on a fetus whose mother first contracts the disease during pregnancy or on an immunocompromised human or cat. Around a third of people worldwide carry the parasite, with most catching it by consuming undercooked meat, especially lamb, pork and venison or by ingesting water, soil or anything contaminated by feline faeces.
Antigen Description
Recombinant Toxoplasma gondii Gra1 is expressed in E. coli as a monomeric, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 175 amino acids with a molecular mass of 18600 Da. The product represents the complete sequence of the mature Gra1, but lacks the signal peptide of the native protein.
