title: Serodiagnostics of Toxoplasma gondii invasions.
abstract: Diagnosis of T. gondii invasions is based mainly on serological tests, because of their relative simplicity and availability. In the present work we examined efficiency of immunoblot and two inhouse ELISA assays in anti-Toxoplasma antibody detection, comparing our results with those obtained using commercial ELISA kit of Organon Teknika. We found that inhouse ELISAs and immunoblot can be helpful in diagnosing toxoplasmosis.
