Target Details for Toxoplasma IgA

Target: Toxoplasma IgA (Toxoplasma IgA Antibody)

Target Type: Antibody

Background: Toxoplasmosis is caused by the intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii and may be contracted by consuming contaminated meat or by contact with cat feces containing oocysts. In adolescence and adulthood, most infections are subclinical. However, if a pregnant woman contracts toxoplasmosis, it may be passed through the placenta to the fetus, resulting in congenital toxoplasmosis, which is a cause of mortality and malformation. Asymptomatic infants may develop anomalies later in life. The antibodies present to Toxoplasma gondii may be of the IgA, IgM and IgG isotypes. The physiological function of IgA and its clinical implication is still unclear.
