We are excited to announce our new Epitogen Lyme VlsE ELISA Kits! This high quality kit is ideal for identifying the specific strain of Borrelia that a subject is infected with, while addressing potential false negative results from previous Lyme Disease testing.

This expansive VlsE antigen panel is designed to advance Borrelia research, improve strain-specific diagnostics, and support accurate epidemiological tracking. Using the unique and cutting edge Epitogen scaffold, this comprehensive panel includes 27 distinct VlsE variants, representing a wide range of Borrelia species: B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. afzelii, B. garinii, B. mayonii, B. spielmanii, B. bissetiae, B. bavariensis, and B. valaisiana. Our VIsE kit is ideal for the measurement of Anti-Borrelia burgdorferi IgG in Citrate plasma, Heparin Plasma, Serum samples.

To provide even deeper insights into infection stage and immune system profile, we also offer our Epitogen Lyme Assay Kits that can detect both IgG antibodies and IgM antibodies against common pathogenic Borrelia antigens.

These kits are currently for Research Use Only.
