Comparison between the complement fixation test LBCF-H100-TTE, IHAT and IgM-IFAT performed on pure IgM fractions in acute acquired and congenital toxoplasmosis
Abstract
The use of a gel filtration method allowed us to obtain pure IgM fractions to be tested for specific Toxoplasma serology. The good correlation found in our series between IgM-IFAT and LBCF-H100-TTE performed on pure IgM fractions suggests that LBCF-H100-TTE may be another useful serological test for detection of IgM antibodies although false negative results might occur when LBCF-H100-TTE is performed on IgM fractions of cord sera.
