| description | This test aids in diagnosis of Lyme disease caused by an infection with Borrelia species endemic to Europe and Asia, including B garinii, B afzelii, or B burgdorferi. The panel contains the qualitative results for the detection of IgM and IgG-class antibodies to B garinii, B afzelii, and B burgdorferi as well as the band patterns identified. The assay detects but does not differentiate between the species. The presence of specific bands suggests a recent infection of Lyme disease. This panel set was created for, but not limited in use to, the Borrelia ViraStripe IgG & IgM assay, which uses native, purified antigens immobilized on a test strip to which patient antibodies, if present, will bind. Various manufacturers label this method as an immunoblot technique. LOINC uses the immunoblot (IB) method to mean that some electrophoretic/chromatographic separation occurs such that position (size) of the band is part of the laboratory assessment (as in Western blot). Because this assay does not involve a separation step but rather uses strips with pre-fixed antigens, the LOINC Method is Line blot. | ||||||||
