چکیده

forty patients with cataracts, as well as 40 patients with proven ocular toxoplasmosis were enrolled in this prospective clinical study. serum igg and aqueous igg in both groups were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) and the corresponding ratios were calculated. serum igg/aqueous humor igg ratio was less than 100 in the patient group and more than 100 in the control group. on the other hand in the chorioretinitis subgroup the ratio was less than 13, while in the group with uveitis, the ratio was more than 13 (p<0.05). the results revealed that calculating the ratio of serum igg (antitoxo) / aqueous igg (antitoxo) may be helpful as an adjunct to diagnosis in cases with clinically atypical ocular toxoplasmosis.

Aqueous humor and serum immunoblotting for immunoglobulin types G, A, M, and E in cases of human ocular toxoplasmosis.

The purpose of this study was to compare the local and systemic Toxoplasma-specific humoral immune responses in individuals with ocular toxoplasmosis (OT). To this end, paired aqueous humor and serum samples from 46 individuals with active OT and from 30 individuals without inflammatory eye disease (controls) were analyzed by immunoblotting for anti-Toxoplasma immunoglobulin G (IgG), IgA, IgM, ...

Early aqueous humor analysis in patients with human ocular toxoplasmosis.

To evaluate the diagnostic sensitivity of a panel of laboratory tests for ocular toxoplasmosis performed at the time of presentation, paired samples of aqueous humor and serum were collected from 49 consecutive episodes of ocular toxoplasmosis with a clinical course of less than 3 weeks. Total immunoglobulin G (IgG) and Toxoplasma gondii-specific IgG, IgM, and IgA were quantified by enzyme-link...

Detection by enzyme immunoassay of serum immunoglobulin G antibodies that recognize specific Cryptosporidium parvum antigens.

Human infection with Cryptosporidium parvum usually elicits characteristic immunoglobulin G (IgG), IgA, and IgM antibody responses against two sporozoite surface antigens with apparent molecular masses of approximately 27 and 17 kDa. We have determined that these two antigens are actually complex families of related antigens. We have developed two new enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs)...

Analysis of aqueous humor immunoglobulin G in uveitis by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, isoelectric focusing, and immunoblotting.

Immunoglobulin G (IgG) in aqueous humor from patients with various uveitis syndromes was analyzed using a number of immunologic techniques. Sixty-five percent of patients with Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis (FHC), 70% of patients with other forms of uveitis, and 44% of controls showed local synthesis of IgG, as demonstrated by an elevated IgG:albumin relative concentration ratio. Using an enzyme...
