Immunization With a DNA Vaccine Encoding the Toxoplasma gondii’ s GRA39 Prolongs Survival and Reduce Brain Cyst Formation in a Murine Model

Toxoplasma gondii, an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite, can cause infect almost all warm-blooded animals and humans. To evaluate the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of T. gondii GRA39 (TgGRA39) in mice by using DNA immunization, we constructed a recombinant eukaryotic plasmid pVAX-Tg...
