Freeman, Katherine, Salt, Alison, Prusa, Andrea, Malm, Gunilla, Ferret, Nicole, Buffolano, Wilma, ...

Abstract Background Information is lacking on the effects of congenital toxoplasmosis on development, behavior, and impairment in later childhood, as well as on parental concerns and anxiety. This...

Use of an Immunoglobulin G Avidity Assay Based on Recombinant Antigens for Diagnosis of Primary Toxoplasma gondii Infection during Pregnancy

Beghetto, Elisa, Buffolano, Wilma, Spadoni, Andrea, Del Pezzo, Mariassunta, Di Cristina, Manlio, Minenkova, Olga, ...

The objective of this work was to develop an antibody-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) avidity assay to discriminate between acute and latent phases of Toxoplasma gondii infection by using recombinant...

Use of Recombinant Antigens for Early Postnatal Diagnosis of Congenital Toxoplasmosis

Buffolano, Wilma, Beghetto, Elisa, Del Pezzo, Mariassunta, Spadoni, Andrea, Di Cristina, Manlio, Petersen, Eskild, ...

The main objective of this work was to improve the early serologic diagnosis of toxoplasmosis in children at risk of congenital infection by using recombinant antigens. Serum samples from 104 infants...

Chimeric Antigens of Toxoplasma gondii: Toward Standardization of Toxoplasmosis Serodiagnosis Using Recombinant Products

Beghetto, Elisa, Spadoni, Andrea, Bruno, Luca, Buffolano, Wilma, Gargano, Nicola

We have evaluated the diagnostic utility of six antigenic regions of the Toxoplasma gondii MIC2, MIC3, M2AP, GRA3, GRA7, and SAG1 gene products, assembled in recombinant chimeric antigens by genetic...
