Use of GRA6-Derived Synthetic Polymorphic Peptides in an Immunoenzymatic Assay To Serotype <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i> in Human Serum Samples Collected from Three Continents

Abstract excerpt

Serotyping is a simple typing method that consists of an immunoenzymatic assay (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay [ELISA]) using synthetic polymorphic peptides derived from Toxoplasma gondii antigens. We developed a new ELISA based on GRA6 C-terminal polymorphic peptides. Serum samples from 41 human infections due to 23 archetypal (type I, II, or III) and 18 nonarchetypal strains were selected in order to...
