Abstract
⺠Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites secreted a group of proteins into the medium. ⺠These proteins caused cell permeability and facilitated the parasite penetration. ⺠We immunized infected BALb/C mice with the proteins purified form the medium. ⺠Immunization increased the survival rate to 80%. ⺠The purified protein induced a mixed Th1/Th2 response.
