A rapid test for the qualitative detection of IgG and IgM antibodies to Toxoplasma Gondii(T.gondii) in human serum or plasma For professional in vitro diagnostic use only.
T. gondii is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite with a worldwide distribution1,2 . Serological data indicates that approximately 30% ofthe population of most industrialized nations is chronically infected with the organism3 .A variety of serologic tests for antibodies to T. gondii have been used as an aid in diagnosis of acute infection and to assess previousexposure to the organism. These tests are the SabinFeldman dye test, direct agglutination, indirect hemagglutination, latex agglutination,indirect immunofluorescence, and ELISA4-7 . Recently, lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay, such as The TOXO IgG/IgM Rapid Test Cassette was introduced into the clinic for the serodiagnosis of T. gondii infection.
