چکیده

Three types of antibody curve have been demonstrated by testing sera during the course of acquired toxoplasmosis by six different techniques. These three types are due to cell-wall antibody, (demonstrated by four of the techniques), to antibody to soluble antigen, and to IgM antibody to the cell wall. These findings have been supported by absorption experiments. A scheme is presented for testing single sera by two or three different tests to indicate the stage and duration of the infection.

Toxoplasmosis: serological studies on patients with chorio-retinitis in Nigeria.

AN opportunity presented itself in September and October, 1958, to observe African patients with chorio-retinitis in Kano, Nigeria. Although it was not possible to carry out detailed studies on these patients, blood sera were taken and tested for antibodies to Toxoplasma, a protozoan parasite. The results of these tests are of interest. Wolf, Cowen, and Paige (1938) established toxoplasmosis as...
