Diagnosis of toxoplasmosis by joint detection of immunoglobulin A and immunoglobulin M.
An indirect immunofluorescence test with total anti-human immunoglobulin conjugate (IgG,A,M-IIF) can be used for joint detection of immunoglobulin A (IgA) and IgM antibodies, provided serum IgG is previously absorbed with anti-human IgG. To determine the validity of the IgG,A,M-IIF assay with absorbed sera, the results obtained were compared with those obtained by methods routinely used for the...
متن کاملPresence and duration of anti-Toxoplasma gondii immunoglobulin M in infants with congenital toxoplasmosis.
OBJECTIVES to investigate the rate of positivity for immunoglobulin M anti-Toxoplasma gondii (Toxo-IgM) in newborns with congenital toxoplasmosis, and the age when these antibodies become negative. METHODS patients with congenital toxoplasmosis who started monitoring in a congenital infection clinic between 1998 and 2009 were included. Inclusion criteria were routine maternal or neonatal sero...
متن کاملAnticardiolipin Antibodies and Immunoglobulin M and A in Graves’ Disease
Background: Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disease, characterized by the presence of antibodies directed to TSH receptor or nearby regions as well as antibodies to double strands DNA (dsDNA) anticardiolipin and nuclear antibodies. This study evaluated anticardiolipin and rheumatoid factor, such as IgA and IgM antibodies in patients with Graves’ disease. Patients and methods: Anticardiolipin a...
متن کاملDiagnosis of acute toxoplasmosis by an enzyme immunoassay for specific immunoglobulin m antibodies.
A recently developed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of immunoglobulin M (IgM) class antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii was evaluated with respect to specificity and sensitivity. By using an antibody capture principle and F(ab')2 conjugates, interference of rheumatoid factors was absent. No cross-reactions with anti-toxoplasma IgG occurred, and no interference with antinuclear anti...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin treatment suppressed adoptively transferred autoimmune myocarditis in severe combined immunodeficient mice.
We investigated the suppressive effects of immunoglobulin (Ig) on effector T cells in autoimmune myocarditis. Treatment with Ig reduced production of the so-called T-helper type 1 (Th1) cytokines stimulated by concanavalin A or cardiac myosin in cultured lymph node (LN) cells from rats with myocarditis. The cytotoxic activities of LN cells from rats immunized with myosin and treated with Ig wer...
