The iDart™ Lyme IgM ImmunoBlot Kit is an immunoblot assay intended for the in vitro qualitative detection of IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum. The iDart™ Lyme IgM ImmunoBlot Kit is intended to detect antibodies to Lyme Screen Antigen (LSA) and multiple other B. burgdorferi antigens following a modified two-tier test methodology. Positive results from the iDart™ Lyme IgM ImmunoBlot Kit are supportive evidence for the presence of antibodies and exposure to B. burgdorferi. Negative results do not preclude infection with B. burgdorferi. iDart™ Lyme IgM ImmunoBlot Kit is intended to aid in the diagnosis of Lyme disease and the test kit should only be used on samples from patients with clinical history, signs and symptoms consistent with Lyme disease. The iDart™ Lyme IgM Immunoblot Kit is not intended as a screen for asymptomatic patients. Test results are to be used in conjunction with information obtained from the patient's clinical evaluation and other diagnostic procedures.

The iDart™ Lyme IgM ImmunoBlot tests are line immunoblot assays. Antigenic proteins specific for Borrelia species that cause Lyme Disease are produced by recombinant DNA technology in Escherichia coli. The purified proteins are then applied as discrete lines on a nitrocellulose membrane along with two control proteins. The iDart™ Lyme IgM ImmunoBlot Kit contains IgM ImmunoBlot strips and the proteins are applied in the following order: C1 (IgG/IgM – conjugate control), C2 (Protein L – calibrator/serum control), P93, P41 (2 antigen bands), P39 (2 antigen bands), P23 (9 antigen bands), P31 (9 antigen bands), P34, C10 and LSA (a chimeric VlsE peptide termed the Lyme Screen Antigen).

The iDart™ Lyme IgG ImmunoBlot Kit is an immunoblot assay intended for the in vitro qualitative detection of IgG antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum. The iDart Lyme IgG ImmunoBlot Kit is intended to detect antibodies to LSA and multiple other B. burgdorferi antigens following a modified two-tier test methodology. Positive results from the iDart Lyme IgG ImmunoBlot Kit are supportive evidence for the presence of antibodies and exposure to B. burgdorferi. Negative results do not preclude infection with B. burgdorferi. iDart™ Lyme IgG ImmunoBlot Kit is intended to aid in the diagnosis of Lyme disease and the test kit should only be used on samples from patients with clinical history, signs and symptoms consistent with Lyme disease.
