LOINC description : The pattern of reactive bands specific to IgG antibodies associated with Borrelia
afzelii, B burgdorferi, and B garinii species in human serum. Antibodies against p83,
p58, p43, p39, p30, OspC, p21, Osp17/DbpA, p14 and VlsE antigens are characterized
as highly specific for Borrelia species. The presence of specific bands suggests a
recent infection of Lyme disease.This term was created for, but not limited in use
to, the Borrelia ViraStripe IgG assay, which uses native, purified antigens immobilized
on a test strip to which patient antibodies, if present, will bind. Various manufacturers
label this method as an immunoblot technique. LOINC uses the immunoblot (IB) method
to mean that some electrophoretic/chromatographic separation occurs such that position
(size) of the band is part of the laboratory assessment (as in Western blot). Because
this assay does not involve a separation step but rather uses strips with pre-fixed
antigens, the LOINC Method is Line blot.;
