Development of a Real-Time PCR Assay for Detection of<i>Toxoplasma gondii</i>in Pig and Mouse Tissues
1 Jun 2001
Abstract excerpt
A highly sensitive and specific method has been developed to reproducibly detect and quantitate Toxoplasma gondii burden in animal tissue samples using T. gondii ITS1-derived primers and a fluorogenic probe via real-time PCR. Assay specificity was confirmed against a panel of DNA samples from T. gondii and other common protozoa as well as host animal tissue. This Toxo TaqMan assay was able to detect as little as...
