Precision Immune Assessment: T cell Insights
Rates of Lyme disease and other chronic infections are rising at an alarming pace—yet many patients continue to go undiagnosed or undertreated due to limitations in standard antibody testing. Traditional tests often reflect past exposure and may fail to reveal whether the immune system is actively battling an infection. i-Labs’ cutting-edge T cell ELISPOT testing delivers a powerful, real-time look at immune activity, identifying antigen-specific T cells that are only present when an infection is active. Because these critical immune “fighters” disappear once an infection has cleared, ELISPOT testing offers clinicians a game-changing advantage in distinguishing active disease from historical exposure. i-Labs is the only U.S.-based laboratory offering this advanced infectious disease testing.
Learning Objectives:
- Break through the limitations of antibody testing with advanced T cell diagnostics
- Accurately identify active acute and chronic infections using next-level testing strategies
- Combine the Immune Assessment test with ELISPOT to evaluate immune responsiveness in real time
- Apply the latest evidence-based approaches for addressing complex infections
- Learn from real-world clinical case studies you can implement immediately
