Detection of antigens in urine during acute toxoplasmosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Toxoplasma antigens were detected in sera and urine of mice acutely infected with Toxoplasma gondii. The concentrations of antigens in the urine samples measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were similar to those detected in the sera of the corresponding mice. The major antigens were not dialyzable and were largely destroyed by treatment with trichloroacetic acid and heat (100 degrees C for 1 h). Toxoplasma antigens were demonstrable on Western blots (immunoblots) of the urine samples.

Toxoplasma gondii antigenuria in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
A longitudinal study was performed with sera and urine of patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), taken before, during and after clinically Toxoplasma infection. The tested patients were followed for an average of two years. The titres of the specific IgG and IgM antibodies were measured by an indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT), and the appearance of circulating antigen...

Background and aims: Toxoplasmosis is a very common disease in the world. Two types of acquiredtoxoplasmosis have been detected. In the chronic toxoplasmosis, the abnormality of tissue functionis little but, in acute toxoplasmosis, function of RES system becomes interrupted. The assessment oftoxoplasma antibody with tissue enzymes in this stage is very important. Furthermore, ...
متن کاملDetection of circulating antigen during acute infections with Toxoplasma gondii by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
The serodiagnosis of toxoplasmosis is usually based on demonstration of antibodies by means of different serological methods. However, for confirmation of active toxoplasmosis, examination of paired sera is still needed. In this study a description is given of a sensitive enzyme method (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) with which it is possible to detect circulating antigens during the acute ...
متن کاملPresence of high concentrations of circulating Toxoplasma antigens during acute Toxoplasma infection in athymic nude mice.
In mice infected with an avirulent strain of Toxoplasma gondii, circulating Toxoplasma antigens were detectable in the sera during weeks 1 to 3 of infection by a simple agglutination test that uses latex particles coated with anti-Toxoplasma antibodies. An infection in athymic nude mice resulted in high agglutination titers in the anti-Toxoplasma antibody-coated latex particle test and the abse...
متن کاملUsefulness of Toxoplasma gondii-specific recombinant antigens in serodiagnosis of human toxoplasmosis.
Toxoplasma gondii SAG1, GRA1, and GRA7 recombinant antigens may be regarded as tools for the detection of T. gondii immunoglobulin G antibodies in persons with chronic and acute toxoplasmosis. GRA7 is more correlated with acute toxoplasmosis. A combination of these antigens will increase the sensitivity of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.
