Western blot as a tool in the diagnosis of Lyme borreliosis.
Zöller L, Cremer J, Faulde M. Zöller L, et al. Electrophoresis. 1993 Sep;14(9):937-44. doi: 10.1002/elps.11501401149. Electrophoresis. 1993. PMID: 8223404 Review.
Laboratory diagnosis of Borrelia infection relies on immunodiagnostic assays, which, however, are hampered by unsatisfactory specificity. The Western blot technique has been employed to analyze the humoral immune response in Lyme borreliosis and is used as a …

Comparison of immunodot and western blot assays for diagnosing Lyme borreliosis.
Fawcett PT, Rosé CD, Gibney KM, Doughty RA. Fawcett PT, et al. Clin Diagn Lab Immunol. 1998 Jul;5(4):503-6. doi: 10.1128/CDLI.5.4.503-506.1998. Clin Diagn Lab Immunol. 1998. PMID: 9665957 Free PMC article.
The test methods examined were a Western blot assay and an immunodot assay. The study was initiated to determine how the immunodot assay, which contains purified and recombinant proteins to those borrelial antigens recommended for immunoglobulin M (IgM) detection in …
