STAINING TOXOPLASMA GONDII WITH FLUORESCEINo LABELLED ANTIBODY I. Tm~ REACTION IN SMEARS OF PERITONEAL EXUDATE BY MORRIS GOLDMAN, Sc.D
Toxoplasma gondii is a small organism which ordinarily is difficult to identify in tissue sections unless it occurs in clusters known as pseudocysts. A staining method specific for the organism would therefore be of value in the microscopic study of lesions suspected of being caused by this species. Since fluorescein-labelled antibody can be used to stain homologous organisms specifically (refe...
متن کاملStaining Toxoplasma Gondii with Fluorescein-labelled Antibody
A new serologic test for antibodies to Toxoplasma is described, which is based upon inhibition of specific staining with fluorescent antibody. In performing the test, a mixture of the test serum and known fluorescein-labelled antiserum is added to a dried smear of toxoplasms for 1 hour at 37 degrees C. The smear is then rinsed and examined with a fluorescence microscope. Reduction in the bright...
متن کاملLatex agglutination test for detection of antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii.
A resurgence of interest in Toxoplasma gondii has occurred because this coccidian parasite causes lethal infections in immunologically compromised hosts and is responsible for at least 3,000 congenitally infected infants in the United States annually. Thus, rapid, specific, and inexpensive serologic tests are required for routine screening of patients, especially pregnant women. We have develop...
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...
متن کاملSerological Study on Cytomegalovirus and Toxoplasma Gondii in
Background Beta-thalassemia patients receive blood products from blood transfusion centers repeatedly. Blood transfusion can transmit Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Toxoplasma gondii. The aim of this study was serological evaluation of these two infectious agents in thalassemia patients. Materials and Methods In a cross-sectional study, the enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) testing was pe...
