Detection of Clostridium difficile toxin by counterimmunoelectrophoresis: a note of caution.

Abstract

Recent methods for detection of Clostridium difficile toxin by counterimmunoelectrophoresis might lead to errors. False-positives may be attributable to soluble cell surface antigens reacting with impure antitoxin.
