IgG and IgM western blot assay for diagnosis of congenital toxoplasmosis

IgG Western Blot for Confirmatory Diagnosis of Equivocal Cases of Toxoplasmosis by EIA-IgG and Fluorescent Antibody Test

The performance values of available techniques used in serodiagnosis of toxoplasmosis are satisfactory but they raise problems of equivocal and discordant results for very low IgG titers. Recently marketed, LDBio-Toxo II IgG Western blot (IB) showed an excellent correlation with the dye test. We estimated the proportion of equivocal and discordant results between the enzyme immunoassay Platelia...

Western blotting for the diagnosis of congenital toxoplasmosis.

Toxoplasmosis is a common congenital infection. It does not usually produce recognizable signs of infection at birth so most infected newborns are not detected by routine clinical examination and remain untreated. Infected children without clinical symptoms should nonetheless be identified and treated as early as possible. Serological diagnosis of congenital toxoplasmosis is quite difficult. Th...

a comparative study on sensitivity and specificity of conventional and unconventional igg and igm assays for diagnosis of toxoplasmosis

background: toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic disease with widespread distribution throughout the world. it is caused by the pro­tozoan parasite toxoplasma gondii . as laboratory diagnosis of toxoplasmosis is not straightforward, this study was aimed to compare the sensitivity and specificity of conventional and unconventional methods of diagnosis based on the meas­urement of igm and igg for determin...

Evaluation of the Aspergillus Western blot IgG kit for diagnosis of chronic aspergillosis.

Immunoprecipitin detection (IPD) is the current reference confirmatory technique for anti-Aspergillus antibody detection; however, the lack of standardization is a critical drawback of this assay. In this study, we evaluated the performance of the Aspergillus Western blot (Asp-WB) IgG kit (LDBio Diagnostics, Lyon, France), a recently commercialized immunoblot assay for the diagnosis of various ...
