ABSTRACT

id="para1">Toxoplasmosis is an important cause of congenital infection. The present study was performed to evaluate the usefulness of recombinant (r) GRA-7 cloned from nucleotides (n) 39-711 in discriminating between acute and chronic toxoplasmosis. First, commercial IgM, IgG and IgG avidity ELISAs were used to determine the serological profile of the sera. Serum samples were from 20 symptomatic patients with acute infection (low IgG avidity, IgM positive), 10 with chronic infection (high IgG avidity, IgM negative) and 10 with indeterminate IgG avidity (IgM positive) which were tested for IgG avidity status with an in-house developed IgG avidity Western blot using the rGRA-7 recombinant antigen. All 20 sera from cases of probable acute infection showed bands which either faded out completely or reduced significantly in intensity after treatment with 8 M urea, whereas the band intensities of the 10 serum samples from chronic cases remained the same. Of the 10 sera with indeterminate IgG avidity status, after treatment with 8 M urea the band intensities with six sera remained the same, two sera had completely faded bands and another two sera had significantly reduced band intensities. Discrimination between acute and chronic toxoplasmosis was successfully performed by the in-house IgG avidity Western blot.

RESUMO

id="para2">Toxoplasmose é uma causa importante de infecção congênita. O presente estudo foi feito para avaliar o uso do recombinante (r) GRA-7 clonado de nucleotídeos (n) 30-711 para discriminar entre toxoplasmose aguda e crônica. Inicialmente IgM, IgG e ELISA avidez IgG comerciais foram usados para determinar o perfil sorológico do soro. Amostras de soro de 20 pacientes sintomáticos com infecção aguda (IgG avidez baixa, IgM positivo), 10 com infecção crônica (alta avidez IgG, IgM negativo) e 10 com avidez IgG indeterminada (IgM positivo) que foram testados para o status de avidez IgG com um doméstico Western Blot desenvolvendo avidez IgG usando o rGRA-7 antígeno recombinante. Todos os 20 soros de provável infecção aguda mostraram bandas que ou se apagaram completamente ou tiveram a sua intensidade significantemente reduzida após tratamento com uréia 8 M, enquanto as intensidades das bandas das 10 amostras de soros de casos crônicos permaneceram iguais. Dos 10 soros com status indeterminado de avidez de IgG, após tratamento com uréia 8 M a intensidade das bandas em seis soros permaneceram iguais, dois soros tiveram bandas apagadas completamente e dois outros tiveram significante redução da intensidade das bandas. Discriminação entre toxoplasmose aguda e crônica foi feita com sucesso através do IgG avidez Western blot doméstico.
