The fusion of <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i> SAG1 vaccine candidate to <i>Leishmania infantum</i> heat shock protein 83‐kDa improves expression levels in tobacco chloroplasts

Abstract excerpt

Chloroplast transformation technology has emerged as an alternative platform offering many advantages over nuclear transformation. SAG1 is the main surface antigen of the intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii and a promising candidate to produce an anti-T. gondii vaccine. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of SAG1 using chloroplast transformation technology in tobacco plants. In order to...
