- Far broader and more inclusive of Lyme Borreliae species than standard serologies
- Better than two-tier ELISA/WB and two-tier ELISA
- Provides a simple, cost-effective, yes/no result with no complicated interpretation necessary
|
|
- A relatively inexpensive method to detect Lyme Borreliae-specific antibodies and to monitor stage of disease
- Specific, which means that most of the time it will be positive only if a person has been truly infected
- Still the best western blot on the market, made with two strains of Bb
|
|
- Improved sensitivity because it includes Lyme Borreliae-specific antigens from multiple strains and species
- Improved specificity because pure proteins are sprayed at specific positions on the blot
- Superior at all stages of Lyme disease
