Vaccine used for preventing toxoplasma gondii infection and preparation method therefor
Provided is a protein having Toxoplasma immunogenicity, the protein being a cyclophilin mutant protein and consisting of the amino acid sequence as shown in SED 2. Further provided is a nucleic acid that may encode a protein having Toxoplasma immunogenicity, which has the nucleic acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1. Further provided is a vaccine, which is obtained by double-digesting a Toxoplasma antigen gene and then linking the same to a prokaryotic expression vector such as pET28a, and transforming the same into a prokaryotic expression engineering strain such as BL21(DE3), thereby inducing the high-efficiency expression thereof, wherein the inducing the high-efficiency expression thereof, wherein the purified protein is a soluble protein which maintains specific immunogenicity thereof.

IMMUNOLOGICALLY ACTIVE FRAGMENTS OF TOXOPLASMA GONDII
T. gondii proteins MIC1 and MIC4 are components of excretory/secretory antigens (ESA) that elicit delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses in infected animals. These antigens are capable of inducing IFN-g secretion by splenic T cells (ELISPOT assay), stimulating T cells to produce cytokines that recruit inflammatory monocytes and neutrophils resulting in a positive luminol test (luminol ear assay), and eliciting a positive skin test in the guinea pig.

NOVEL TOXOPLASMA GONDII GRA8-DERIVED RECOMBINANT PEPTIDES AND COMPOSITION FOR PREVENTING OR TREATING CANCER COMPRISING THE SAME
The present invention relates to a novel Toxoplasma gondii GRA8-derived recombinant peptide, and a pharmaceutical composition and functional food for preventing or treating cancer, which includes the same as an active ingredient. The Toxoplasma gondii GRA8-derived recombinant peptide according to the present invention is a novel recombinant peptide in which a specific mitochondrial targeting sequence and an ATP5A1/SIRT3 sequence of GRA8 are conjugated to an acidity-triggered rational membrane (ATRAM), and has considerably improved efficacy in which an inhibitory concentration 50 (IC50) is improved up to 200-fold (in vitro) or 500-fold (in vivo), compared with a conventional GRA8-derived peptide (rGRA8). In addition, since the peptide treatment shows a notably distinct therapeutic effect in mouse models with cancer, the peptide may be effectively used in a pharmaceutical composition or functional food for preventing or treating cancer.
