Abstract: A sandwich ELISA was established with monoclonal antibody as detecting antibody and rabbit anti- Toxoplasma polyclonal antibody as capturing antibody. ABC(avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex)-ELISA and immuno-PCR were also used to detect different concentrations of Toxoplasma antigen. The lowest concentration of antigen to be detected by sandwich ELISA, ABC-ELISA and immuno-PCR was 0.6 μg/ml, 0.075 μg/ml and 0.1 ng/ml respectively. The immuno-PCR shows a much higher sensitivity than the other two methods.
