WEBINAR:
Advantages of using IGeneX for tick-borne disease testing
Highlighting our Advanced ImmunoBlot Technology
OVERVIEW OF THE WEBINAR
The IGeneX ImmunoBlot sets the standard for tick-borne disease testing, and is now available for four diseases: Lyme disease, Bartonella, Babesia, and Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever.
In this webinar, you will learn how the IGeneX ImmunoBlot uses recombinant proteins instead of proteins from natural sources. Recombinant DNA technology provides a more efficient method to obtain large amounts of proteins. Additionally, by using recombinant technology, IGeneX scientists are able to create DNA sequences that would not naturally exist under normal circumstances, leading to more sensitive and specific tests.

Who is the webinar for?
This webinar is perfect for those who want to take their tick-borne disease testing to the next level.
Advantages of the IGeneX ImmunoBlot
- Allows for identification of a broad range of species
- Detects multiple species in one test
- Detects the full spectrum of disease: early, active, and late-stage disease
- Can be made genus and species-specific
- Avoids the need to visualize glass slides through a microscope
- Renders Western blot and IFA obsolete

Ask Anything Town Hall
Town Hall style session for doctors to connect with leaders at IGeneX to ask questions on testing, tick-borne diseases, or anything else that will help them in their practice.
Session #1
Click to jump to a question:
- Are there any organisms that can give a false positive Babesia test?
- What is the best way to confirm that a patient has been adequately treated for Lyme? IgXSpot? FISH?
- What are the best use cases for Bartonella IFA and Western Blots tests?
- How do you interpret indeterminate results for Relapsing Fever ImmunoBlot?
- Does Relapsing Fever Borrelia respond differently in treatment than other Borrelia species?
- What are your thoughts on treatment when a patient presents with TBRF?
- How much more sensitive is the ImmunoBlot versus the PCR urine test?
- For Morgellon’s patients, what is the best test to determine if they have Lyme disease or TBRF?
- Is a Urine PCR Panel good to use on Morgellons patients?
- Should you prime the immune system with antibiotics before testing?
- What testing is best for Myocarditis?
Session #2
Click to jump to a question:
- What panels do you use for Morgellons?
- How do you diagnose Alpha-Gal?
- Can a patient with Multiple Sclerosis trigger a false positive Lyme antibody test?
- Did my patient trigger a false positive Bartonella test?
- Is Bartonella the cause of my patient’s joint pain?
- If my patient is negative for Lyme, should I reflex to a Relapsing Fever test?
