Which bands can cross react with other viruses? Also which viruses?

I think I've read that it is band 31. Is this correct?

Thanks.

I believe 31 and 41.

31 does cross react but if you end up with 2 additional bands on your igm wb it's a good bet lyme is your problem...

Igenex also has the 31 band confirmation which is not perfect but does make a lyme result more clear...

Do they only do the 31 band confirmation if it's definitely +? Mine is indeterminate.

I do have more than 2 other bands that are positive.

Who has had this done and it came out negative for lyme rather than positive?
