Abstract

Using a murine monoclonal antibody, we were able to differentiate between mouse-virulent and -avirulent strains of Toxoplasma gondii. Monoclonal antibody TB6G5 was reactive with eight clinical mouse-avirulent isolates but not with mouse-virulent laboratory strains RH and BK. The antibody-reactive antigen was identified by indirect immunofluorescence and immunoblot as a 27-kDa cytoplasmic protein expressed by tachyzoites as well as by bradyzoites.
