This is a neighbor's Igenex's western blot results. He is 75 years old, been around horses for years, lives in Northern California. The last year has fatigue, and recently a broken femur leg, and now found a spot on one of his kidneys.

IgG
**23-25 kda IND
*30 kda +
**31 kda ++++
**34 kda ++
**39 kda IND
**41 kda +++

IgM
**41 kda IND

Also can someone remind me of the site that tells how to read western blot results?

DMC, thank you much for the link.

So does everyone agree the igg is lyme positive?

Not a doubt in my mind. Not a doubt on the WB either.

For sure. He has some very specific bands. My band 31 was positive like that and my LLMD said it indicated that I had Lyme for a very long time.

I also was IgG positive.

Thanks for the replys. I agree, just has been a while since I have read an Igenex test result. (8 years since my postitive test) Was wondering if there was any new info on the band numbers these days.

This man has to have surgery for the cancer on his kidney so am hoping this done will not flare his lyme up big time.
