Lyme Dot Blot – CSF
$95.00
Lyme Dot-Blot Assay (LDA) is a qualitative immunoassay for the direct detection of Borrelia burgdorferi-specific antigens in a patient cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) sample using anti-B. burgdorferi antibodies.
Purpose
The antigens present in the CSF sample are immobilized onto a membrane in a Dot-blot format and incubated with anti-B. burgdorferi-specific antibodies. After washing the bound anti-B. burgdorferi-specific antibodies, they are reacted with anti-rabbit IgG, which is visualized by an enzyme/substrate reaction.
