Herein, we have isolated a cDNA clone encoding for the<jats:italic>Schistosoma mansoni<\/jats:italic>SmIg and its recombinant protein was tested as a potential vaccine candidate. Initially, its amino acid sequence was analysed by bioinformatics and shown to possess an N-terminal signal peptide, a C-terminal transmembrane helix, 4 glycosylation sites, an immunoglobulin conserved domain and 73% similarity with a hypothetical<jats:italic>S. japonicum<\/jats:italic>protein of unknown function. SmIg was produced by<jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic>as a recombinant protein (rSmIg) and its protective effectiveness was evaluated against<jats:italic>S. mansoni<\/jats:italic>infection with 100 cercariae in a murine model. Mice immunized with rSmIg induced an immune response characterized by dominant IgG1 isotype and significant levels of IFN-\u03b3, TNF-\u03b1, IL-10 and IL-4. Although immunogenic, the recombinant vaccine failed to induce worm burden reduction when compared to the infected control group. However, rSmIg-immunized mice had significant reductions of liver granuloma volume and fibrosis content by 31\u00b78% and 49%, respectively. In conclusion, SmIg is a new tegument protein from<jats:italic>S. mansoni<\/jats:italic>that plays an important role in reducing pathology induced by parasite infection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0031182009991387","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,10,16]],"date-time":"2009-10-16T15:00:44Z","timestamp":1255705244000},"page":"1079-1088","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Immunization with SmIg, a novel tegument protein from<i>Schistosoma mansoni<\/i>, fails to induce protection in mice but reduces liver pathology"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"137","author":[{"given":"J.
