Serological diagnosis of Toxoplasma gondii infections by rapid separation of serum immunoglobulins M and G with CM Bio-Gel A.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple and rapid method has been developed for the separation of serum immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG. CM Bio-Gel A chromatography was used in the technique, which resulted in an IgM-rich fraction containing 31% of the original serum IgM and less than 2% of the serum IgG. The procedure was used to detect masked IgM antibodies in patients suspected of having Toxoplasma gondii infections.

متن کاملSerological Evaluation of Experimental Toxoplasma gondii Infection in Cats by Using Immunoblotting Based on an Affinity Purified Surface Antigen
Toxoplasma gondii is an apicomplexan parasite that infects human and almost all warm-blooded animals. The life cycle of the parasite includes an asexual reproduction in intermediate hosts (Mammals and birds) and a sexual reproduction in definitive hosts (Felidae). Cats are both the intermediate and the definitive host for T. gondii. The aim of this study was to investigate anti-T. gondii antibo...

This study was aimed to detect anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in cats infected with Rh strain of T. gondii by using an immunoblotting method. For this, cats were experimentally infected using tachyzoites harvested from Vero cell cultures. Tachyzoites were then lysed and transferred to polyacrylamide gels followed by blotting to PVDF membranes. An immunoblotting was performed using these mem...
