Description | This purified monoclonal antibody is directed against Human Toxoplasma Gondii Antigen and is purified by Ion exchange chromatography. Purity is confirmed by ELISA >95% pure. Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular parasitic alveolate that causes the disease toxoplasmosis. Found worldwide, T. gondii is capable of infecting virtually all warm-blooded animals, but felids such as domestic cats are the only known definitive hosts in which the parasite may undergo sexual reproduction. Initially, a T. gondii infection stimulates production of IL-2 and IFN-γ by the innate immune system. Continuous IFN-γ production is necessary for control of both acute and chronic T. gondii infection. These two cytokines elicit a CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell mediated immune response. Thus, T-cells play a central role in immunity against Toxoplasma infection. T-cells recognize Toxoplasma antigens that are presented to them by the body's own Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules. The specific genetic sequence of a given MHC molecule differs dramatically between individuals, which is why these molecules are involved in transplant rejection. Individuals carrying certain genetic sequences of MHC molecules are much more likely to be infected with Toxoplasma. Immune pressure eventually leads the parasite to form cysts that normally are deposited in the muscles and in the brain of the hosts. Anti-Human Toxoplasma Gondii Antigen Antibody is useful for researchers interested in infectious disease. |
