TI  - Duration of specific immunoglobulin A antibody following acute toxoplasmosis as 
      determined by enzyme immunoassay and immunosorbent agglutination assay.
PG  - 556-9
AB  - Modifications of an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and an immunosorbent agglutination 
      assay (ISAGA) for measuring Toxoplasma gondii-specific IgM antibody were made to 
      enable the measurement of Toxoplasma gondii-specific IgA antibody. It was shown 
      that specific IgA could be measured by both assays but that the ISAGA was 
      slightly more sensitive. IgA appears about two weeks after IgM and persists for 6 
      to 7 months. However, the IgA response varies considerably both in degree and 
      duration, and demonstration of IgM antibody is at present the most suitable 
      routine test for the diagnosis of recent Toxoplasma gondii infection.
