Note from Canlyme...
"Considering the history of controversy surrounding testing methods and interpretation of data it is no wonder many are skeptical of research which draws conclusions as indicated below.
Until multi-laboratory research is done, using accredited facilities who as a rule may come to opposing conclusions, and until such multiple labs can openly duplicate each others research, any such conclusions will always be cast in doubt.
In many cases the Western Blot has been the only diagnostic tool in identifying Bb infection resulting in successful treatment for a patient whom otherwise would have been left floundering in diagnostic limbo.
Any research that threatens to take that tool away needs to be put to the ultimate of scientific review before being accepted as main stream science.
The victims of Lyme disease just want to get on with life and health."

Analysis of Borrelia burgdorferi IgG antibodies with a combination of IgG ELISA and VlsE C6 peptide ELISA
C. Jansson, S.A. Carlsson, H. Granlund, P. Wahlberg and D. Nyman;
Abstract
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were used to detect antibodies to the C6 peptide of the Borrelia burgdorferi VlsE protein and a selection of B. burgdorferi IgG antigens, separately and as a combination, in 355 serum specimens from blood donors and patients. Western immunoblotting was used as the reference method. The sensitivity of the combined analysis of IgG antigen and C6 peptide analysis was markedly superior to those of the separate analyses. When the C6 peptide and IgG results were concordant, the customary confirmatory Western immunoblotting assay could be omitted, thus reducing the time and cost of analysis.
