"Well, I didn't entirely trust the LabCorp data on co-I's so I asked for the IGenex panel. The bad news is that I still have Lyme bands 23, 39 and 41 but the levels are coming down a lot (all IgM and...
I would like to know your actual IGeneX results for IgM 23 and 39. Thanks...
18 has been CDC specific since 1994 or so. CDC IgG Positive: 5 of the following 10 Borrelia-specific bands 18, 23, 28, 30, 39, 41, 45, 58, 66, 93. CDC IgM Positive: 2 of the following 3...

Twills Have your doctor have IGeneX run the 31 kDa epitope test on your 31 IND. If IgM then test #488. If IgG then test #489. $100. If this test is positive then 31 is in fact lyme. 39 is IND 86% of...
Traveler I have an extensive list of North American Western Blot bands with an emphasis on sensitivity but haven't made any real effort to research specificity. There are contradictions between...

33-kDa is very likely to be 34-kDa, OspB. There are several immunogens around 35-kDa. I assume the test was IgG. Which lab? Did they list the bands tested for?...
It is the ELISA test. But I have never seen those ranges. These are what are normally seen: or = 1.10 Positive Which lab did the test? Because it is an ELISA the Negative doesn't mean too much if you...
The function of the gene that generates the protein that causes an immune reaction that generates the band at 83-kDa is unknown. The 3% generally have lots of bands. IGeneX considers their ** bands...
IGeneX records found on the net through last year. For 83-kDa band (function of this band is unknown!): 165 IgM records: 61 (37%) IND or + or better. 165 IgG records: 12 (7%) IND or + or better. Only...

All of the lists are way out of date. The most recent, I found recently, was from 2000 or so. An example: p39 was identified as an outer membrane protein and named BmpA in 1994 and is known since, at...
Titers do not allow a number like 1.43 as far as I know. Commonly 1:8, 1:16, 1:32, 1:64 etc or 1:10, 1:20, 1:40, 1:80 etc More likely weight per unit volume measurement. mg/uL etc....

I just looked at 83 IGeneX results (166 records. IgG & IgM for each result.) and IGeneX appears to only report INDs on IGeneX ** bands and not on the other bands. IGeneX believes, based on their...

You can have a "strong" immune system and still have negative or indeterminate bands even though you actually have lyme disease. Bet your bands were 31, 34, 39 and 41. I did the "challenge"....
