T-cell-based tests have shown remarkable performance in comparison, especially in the early stages or to detect and observe re-activation of infections and to gauge treatment response accordingly. #tcell #lymedisease #antibody #lyme #infection #antibodytesting

Specifically, IgG antibody titers tend to stay high during and post-treatment while T-cell numbers will go down during successful treatment and vanish after clearance of the pathogen.

T-cell vs. Antibody Testing There are two distinct approaches to diagnosing infectious diseases. Each method offers insights into the immune response against specific pathogens. T-cells are a crucial component of the immune system, orchestrating the response against pathogens.

If you have any questions and would like to get in touch, please call us on 651-387-2614. Our working hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm CST. #HappyNewYear #FelixScholz #DrCarstenNicolaus #lymedisease #guthealth #gutimmune #microbiome

Please note that test kits should arrive at our lab between Monday and Thursday only. Not Fridays. This is in order to allow enough time for our specialist t-cellular testing to take place on using live cells.

Happy New Year for 2024! We hope you all had a restful and happy holiday season. We are back open as of today, Tuesday January 2nd 2024 to receive your test kits.
