Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Summary

By means of fixation of the antiserum protein with the paper-sorbed antigen (PF) a study was made of the sera of rabbits and rats infected withToxoplasma gondii as well as of the sera obtained from persons with a preliminary diagnosis of “toxoplasmosis.” The results were positive in about 90% of the experiments on the infected animals and in 50% of the persons with the clinically suspected toxoplasmosis.

PFT is recommended for immunological studies of toxoplasmosis.
