Lyme Fly-In
Center for Lyme Action will host its annual Virtual Fly-In to connect advocates with their Members of Congress. Last year 350 advocates registered for more than 200 meetings with Congress Members.
Discussing FDA Clearance of Lyme ImmunoBlot
Project Lyme is a proud sponsor of this FREE upcoming webinar.
About The Event
The iDart Lyme IgG ImmunoBlot Kit is a stand-alone test for the detection of IgG antibodies against Borrelia-causing Lyme disease. The iDart ImmunoBlot Kit features 31 Lyme antigen bands, which are more antigen bands than any other Lyme immunoblot test on the market. Moreover, it is the only immunoblot that includes Osp A (P31) and Osp B (P34).
The inclusion of 31 antigens improves the sensitivity of the detection of Lyme-specific IgG antibodies, which in turn will improve the sensitivity of the diagnosis of Lyme disease in suspected patients without sacrificing specificity.
Dr. Joseph Burrascano will join Project Lyme to discuss the importance of this new test, its FDA clearance, as well as how it will impact the Lyme testing space and patients.
