hi somebody can explain how to understand the test in details?
CD 57 + NK-cells (absolute) - 53 /ul 100-360
The CD57-cell-count indicates chronic immune suppression, which can be caused by Borrelia burgdorferi or other
bacteria like Chlamydia/Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
Borrelia burgdorferi Elispot
Borrelia burgdorferi Full Antigen (results (+1)
Borrelia b. OSP-Mix (OSPA/OSPC/DbpA) (results(+2)
Borrelia burgdorferi LFA-1 (results (0)
>3 = positive
2-3 = weak positive
<2 = negative
The results of the EliSpot-Tests indicate weak current cellular activity against Borrelia burgdorferi.
Explanation of antigens:
- Borrelia burgdorferi Full Antigen: Borrelia b. B31-reference strain (Borrelia b sensu stricto)
- Borrelia burgorferi Peptide-Mix: OspA from Borrelia b. sensu stricto, Borrelia afzelii, Borrelia garinii + OspC
native + DbpA recombinant
- Borrelia burgdorferi LFA-1 (Lymphocyte Function Antigen 1): Own body protein + Borrelia
burgdorferi sensu stricto (shared epitope). Often associated with autoimmune diseases: collagenosis,
Rheumatoid Arthritis, vasculitis. If positive or borderline positive look at: ANA, CCP-antibodies, ANCA.
(Native : cultured antigens/ Recombinant: genetic technology produced)
