Well, welcome to the club!!! You've got a lot of Lyme specific positives and IND's up there!
Here is the site that I use to help interpret WB test results:
www.reocities.com/HotSprings/Oasis/6455/western-blot.txtAn IgM result means that you have an active infection. It once was thought to mean an 'early' infection, but has since been revised. IgG means that the infection is at a later stage.
The more +'s you have beside a number, the stronger the reaction.
IND means indeterminate - not negative, but not quite strong enough to be "fully positive". But it means that you reacted on those bands and should be considered, especially when they are Lyme specific bands.
A "Lyme specific band" means specific for Borrelia Burgdorferi, sensu stricto - Lyme disease in the strictest sense. There is only
one on the over 300 known strains of Lyme that is considered Bb, ss.
Bands 18 & 41 (whether in IgM or IgG) are indicative of the tail of the bacteria, which can cross react with other Spirochetal bacteria such as Relapsing Fever, Pintas and Yaws, and Syphilis.
Bands 23 - 25 indicate OspC (Outer Surface Protein "C")with band 25 being specific to Lyme disease.
Band 31 indicates OspA (Outer Surface Protein "A") and is specific to Lyme.
Band 39 indicates BmpA (Bacterial Membrane Protein "A") and is specific to Lyme.
Band 66 indicates Oms66 (Outer Membrane Spanning 66) and is a Heat Shock Protein (but I don't know what that really means) - and it's possible that it indicates Borrelia Hermsii - a 'relapsing fever' infection.
Band 83 is a high molecular mass protein that is specific to Lyme.
Band 93 is an immunodominant antigen that is specific to Lyme as well.
