Toxoplasma Ab Igg & Igm

T. gondii is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite with a worldwide distribution1,2.
Serological data indicates that approximately 30% of the population of most
industrialized nations is chronically infected with the organism3. A variety of serologic
tests for antibodies to T. gondii have been used as an aid in diagnosis of acute
infection and to assess previous exposure to the organism. These tests are the SabinFeldman dye test, direct agglutination, indirect hemagglutination, latex agglutination,
indirect immunofluorescence, and ELISA4-7. Recently, lateral flow chromatographic
immunoassay, such as The Toxo IgG/IgM Rapid Test Cassette was introduced into
the clinic for the serodiagnosis of T. gondii infection.
