Serial serum samples from infants with congenital toxoplasmosis were analyzed using IgG subtype Rec-ELISAs with GST fusion products. The values were calculated as the ratio of the test OD to the cutoff of the corresponding antigen. Italic type, OD > cutoff; bold type, serum sample pairs showing increasing IgG subtype reactivity with time.
