| 摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to peptides immunoreactive with antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii, nucleic acid sequences encoding these peptides, recombinant vector molecules, comprising these nucleic acid sequences, host cells transformed with the recombinant vector molecule, immunochemical reagents comprising the peptides or antibodies directed against the peptides, a test kit for the detection of T. gondii infections as well as a vaccine for the protection against T. gondii infections. In particular the present invention provides peptides comprising part of the amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID No.: 1. A preferred embodiment of the present invention are peptides comprising at least part of the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID No.: 3 or 5. It has been found that the peptides according to the present invention are particularly suitable for diagnosing T. gondii infected humans.</p> |
