Antigenic differences between endozoites and cystozoites of Toxoplasma gondii

M N Lunde et al. J Parasitol. 1983 Oct.

Abstract

Antigenic differences between the cystozoite and endozoite of Toxoplasma gondii were found using fluorescent antibody staining. Antisera against the cystozoite reacted against only the cystozoite, whereas antisera against the endozoite reacted against both endozoite and cystozoite. Absorption of sera with endozoites removed only positive reactions with endozoites. These findings are the first to suggest antigenic differences between these two forms of Toxoplasma.
