Christianmom Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Can anyone tell me the test to order for BINDING IMMUNE COMPLEXES? Can it be done through LabCorp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philamom Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Our LLMD uses Quest (two tests)...but he runs all our labs with Quest, outside of tick borne infections.

Christianmom Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Our LLMD uses Quest (two tests)...but he runs all our labs with Quest, outside of tick borne infections. C3D Circulating Immune Complexes C3D Immune Complex Immune Complex Detection by C1Q Binding Here is the test my son has already had done by ARUP labs as ordered by Dr. T: http://www.aruplab.com/guides/ug/tests/0050667.jsp It appears to be the same test as you have mentioned. Here are the results. What do they mean? Immune Complex Profile: Raji Cell, Quantitative 6.2 ug Eq/ml (normal < 15.1) Immune complexes C1q Binding 1.5 ug Eq/ml (negative < 4.4) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philamom Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I'm not really sure what it means, other than some children with elevated immune complexes could test negative for the Lyme Western Blot, due to the antibiodies being bound within the complexes. My daughter's result is normal, so I didn't ask any further questions. Sorry - no help here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
