Toxoplasma gondii antibody
Rabbit anti Toxoplasma gondii RH Strain antibody used for the identification of Toxoplasma cysts by immunofluorescence.
Image caption:
Compound 2 enhances differentiation. A. Structure of Compound 2. B. Immunofluorescence of a cyst-like structure using an anti-Toxoplasma antibody (green) to detect all parasites and Dolichos biflorus lectin (DL; red) to detect the cyst wall after 72 hr under CO2 starvation conditions. The corresponding differential interference contrast (DIC) and merged images are also shown. Scale bar = 10μm. C. Percentage of DL-positive vacuoles (DL+) in samples treated with either Compound 2 (3μM) or an equivalent volume of DMSO for 72 hr under CO2 starvation conditions (mean ± SD; n = 4 for the wild-type strain and n = 6 for &DELTA;uprt strains). The data were compared using paired Student's t-test (**p < 0.01).

Rabbit anti Toxoplasma gondii RH Strain antibody recognizes purified Toxoplasma gondii trophozoites.
T. gondii is an intracellular protozoan parasite that enters its host via the gastrointestinal tract, and is the only member of the Toxoplasma genus. The definitive host of T. gondii is cats, but it can also be carried by a vast number of warm-blooded animals, including humans. Toxoplasmosis is usually minor and self-limiting but can have serious or even fatal effects on a fetus, or if the host is immunocompromised. T. gondii encephalitis (TE) is the most common cerebral opportunistic infection in patients with AIDS.
