Abstract
Toxoplasma gondii recombinant antigens H4 and H11 were assessed for th eir potential for use in ELISA for diagnosis of toxoplasmosis in swine . The antigens were evaluated with sera from young pigs experimentally infected with T. gondii. Results were compared with ELISAs based on a native T. gondii antigen extract. Although recombinant antigen ELISAs showed a sharp rise in response with some sera very early after infec tion, they were relatively non-reactive with late (chronic) infection sera.
