Usage
Nowakowska et al. Genotyping of Toxoplasma gondii by Multiplex PCR and Peptide-Based Serological Testing of Samples from Infants in Poland Diagnosed with Congenital Toxoplasmosis. Journal of Clinical Microbiology 44:4,1282-1289 (April 2006) "'Beginning in March 2000, Toxoplasma-specific IgG was detected in sera from mothers and their neonates by enzyme-linked immunofluorescent assay (VIDAS Toxo-IgG; bioMerieux) (positive cutoff: 8 IU/ml). Toxoplasma-specific IgM was detected using VIDAS Toxo-IgM (bioMerieux) (positive cutoff: 0.65 IU/ ml) and Toxoplasma-specific IgA was detected using the Platelia Toxo-IgA method as described above. IgG avidity was tested using the enzyme-linked immunofluorescent assay test (VIDAS Toxo-avidity; bioMerieux) (cutoffs: low, 0.2; borderline, 0.2 to 0.3; high, 0.3).'"
