The diagnosis of acute toxoplasmosis is based exclusively on the detection of IgM anti-Toxoplasma antibodies. The principal of the immunoenzymatic test reported here is the capture of serum IgM antibodies which are detected indirectly by the sequential addition of antigen and a monoclonal antibody directed against the immunodominant epitope at the surface of the tachyzoite. This test combines the sensitivity of enzyme-based assays and the specificity of monoclonal reagents and represents an important contribution to the diagnosis of Toxoplasma gondii infection.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007075 Immunoglobulin M A class of immunoglobulin bearing mu chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN MU-CHAINS). IgM can fix COMPLEMENT. The name comes from its high molecular weight and originally was called a macroglobulin. Gamma Globulin, 19S,IgM,IgM Antibody,IgM1,IgM2,19S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgM
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
