⺠The number of T. cruzi FRA tandem repeats did not increase its immunogenicity. ⺠The number of T. cruzi FRA tandem repeats favored its recognition by antibodies. ⺠FRA motif shows a pattern of three alpha-helices connected by two loops. ⺠The main epitope from the antigen would be in a loop of the motif.
