Abstract

Aim:The aim of this study was to detect specific immunoglobulin (Ig) that could be used to determine monoclonal antibody in conjugate-making an effort for the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) diagnostic kit of toxocariasis in human.Materials and Methods:The study was conducted to assess the Ig profile, based on ELISA-isotyping, in mice infected with second stage larvae eggs of Toxocara cati. The optical density values of anti-T. cati mice serum IgG subclasses were analyzed by applying ANOVA factorial.Results:The specific IgG subclass in mice infected with T. cati mice was found to be IgG2β.Conclusion:Subclass of IgG, especially IgG2β, can provide leads about the use of the monoclonal antibody in conjugate making an effort for the indirect ELISA diagnostic kit.

Highlights

  • Subclass of IgG, especially IgG2β, can provide leads about the use of the monoclonal antibody in conjugate making an effort for the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) diagnostic kit

  • The disease caused by Toxocara cati infection in humans is a helminth zoonosis, which is mostly found in children [1,2]

  • About 31.9% of soil around slaughterhouses and about 20.6% of the soil around dairy farms were reported to contain eggs of Toxocara spp. included T. cati [6]. This situation could increase the risk of toxocariasis [7]. This finding supports the fact that human toxocariasis from infective eggs, containing second-stage (L2) larvae [8]

Summary

Introduction

The disease caused by Toxocara cati infection in humans is a helminth zoonosis, which is mostly found in children [1,2]. About 31.9% of soil around slaughterhouses and about 20.6% of the soil around dairy farms were reported to contain eggs of Toxocara spp. included T. cati [6]. This situation could increase the risk of toxocariasis [7]. This finding supports the fact that human toxocariasis from infective eggs, containing second-stage (L2) larvae [8]. Human toxocariasis was the most prominent of all nematode diseases because it caused major health problems in children
