Vaccines are disclosed against parasites. The vaccines include peptides in an immunological composition. In particular, the parasite is Toxoplas gondii.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A composition comprising a plurality of peptides, wherein the plurality of peptides comprises a first peptide with the amino acid sequence KSFKDILPK (SEQ ID NO: 4), a second peptide with the amino acid sequence RSFKDLLKK (SEQ ID NO: 6), and a third peptide with the amino acid sequence AKFVAAWTLKAAA (SEQ ID NO: 7), wherein the plurality of peptides are linked to form a chimeric polypeptide. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises an oil-in-water emulsion that includes a synthetic adjuvant monophosphorvl lipid A (MLA). 3. The composition of claim 1 wherein the plurality of peptides further comprises one or more of AVVSLLRLLK (SEQ ID NO:23), STFWPCLLR (SEQ ID NO:21), and SSAYVFSVK (SEQ ID NO:22). 4. The composition of claim 3 , further comprising an adjuvant. 5. The composition of claim 3 wherein the plurality of peptides further comprises one or more of FLSLSLLVI (SEQ ID NO: 11) FMIAFISCFA (SEQ ID NO: 12), FVIFACNFV (SEQ ID NO: 16), FMIVSISLY (SEQ ID NO: 13), FLLGLLVHV (SEQ ID NO: 15), FLTDYIPGA (SEQ ID NO: 14), ITMGSLFFV (SEQ ID NO: 17), GLAAAVYAV (SEQ ID NO: 18), VLLPVLFGV (SEQ ID NO: 20), FAAAFFPAV (SEQ ID NO: 19), VVFVVFMGV (SEQ ID NO: 1), FMGVLVNSL (SEQ ID NO: 2), FLVPFVVFL (SEQ ID NO: 3), AMLTAFFLR (SEQ ID NO: 5), LPOFATAAT (SEQ ID NO: 8), VPFVVFLVA (SEQ ID NO: 9), and HF10 (HPGSVNEFDF (SEQ ID NO: 10)). 6. The composition of claim 5 , further comprising an adjuvant. 7. The composition of claim 1 wherein the plurality of peptides further comprises one or more of FLSLSLLVI (SEQ ID NO: 11), FMIAFISCFA (SEQ ID NO: 12), FVIFACNFV (SEQ ID NO: 16), FMIVSISLV (SEQ ID NO: 13), FLLGLLVHV (SEQ ID NO: 15), FLTDYIPGA (SEQ ID NO: 14), ITMGSLFFV (SEQ ID NO: 17), GLAAAVVAV (SEQ ID NO: 18), VLLPVLFGV (SEQ ID NO: 20), FAAAFFPAV (SEQ ID NO: 19), VVFVVFMGV (SEQ ID NO: 1), FMGVLVNSL (SEQ ID NO: 2), FLVPFVVFL (SEQ ID NO: 3), AMLTAFFLR (SEQ ID NO: 5), LPQFATAAT (SEQ ID NO: 8), VPFVVFLVA (SEQ ID NO: 9), and HF10 (HPGSVNEFDF (SEQ ID NO: 10)). 8. The composition of claim 7 , further comprising an adjuvant. 9. The composition of claim 1 further comprising an adjuvant.
