I don't know what you mean by isolation in this context. If the browser is getting the content via an AJAX request, it must be making that AJAX request to your application. This request will hit your application with certain parameters, and then your app will return the content. Why not just test the responses of whichever action the AJAX hits and check that that content is accurate? That is as much as your AJAX requests care about, because they'll never see anything more.
