Sarcocystis neurona major surface antigen gene 1 (SAG1) shows evidence of having evolved under positive selection pressure.

Parasitology research - 1 Dec 2004

Elsheikha Hany M, Mansfield Linda S

Abstract excerpt

The major surface antigen gene 1 (SAG1) is conserved among members of Sarcocystidae and may play an important role in parasite pathogenesis. Additionally, generation and selection of different antigenic variants of SAG1 has the potential for inclusion in a subunit vaccine or in the development of...
