The invention discloses a surface
antigen gene StSAG1 of Sarcocystis tenella, the
nucleotide sequence of the surface
antigen gene StSAG1 is as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, and according to the analysis result of
protein antigenicity and
antigen epitope, the 686 bp-1175 bp segment of the StSAG1
gene is selected to construct a recombinant
protein expression vector and
engineering bacteria; the antigen disclosed by the invention has very strong
antigenicity and specificity, and can be subjected to effective antigen-
antibody reaction with an
antibody generated in serum after sheep (
Ovis aries) is infected with sarcosporidium tenella, so that diagnosis is realized; low-
titer antibodies can be detected two weeks after infection, and the detection
window period is obviously advanced; by adopting the ELISA detection method, a visual result can be directly obtained. The method breaks through the limitation of an infection
window period, has the advantages of low cost, high sensitivity, simplicity and convenience in operation, no need of expensive instruments and analysis and the like, is suitable for
field detection in primary laboratories and pastures, and is beneficial to industrial production and market popularization and application.
