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.

The present invention inter alia relates to the use of phosphotidylserine or pathogenic sugar targeted therapeutics for the management and treatment of microbial infections, including Zika, Dengue, West Nile, Ebola, H1N1, enteroviruses, Leishmaniasis, Malaria and Coronaviruses SARS-COV. In an aspect, the invention concerns a fusion construct comprising an Ig-Fc domain or other protein scaffold, such as albumin, and a peptide, protein, or antibody fragment binding to phosphatidylserine and/or a peptide or protein binding to and/or recognizing a PAMP expressed by a microbe. Other aspects are described.

Vaccine vectors and methods of using the vaccine vectors to enhance the immune response to an Apicomplexan parasite and reduce the morbidity or mortality associated with subsequent infection are provided herein. The vaccine vectors include a polynucleotide encoding a Rhomboid polypeptide and optionally include an immune-stimulatory polypeptide suitably expressed on the surface of the vaccine vector.

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.
