A Definitive Lyme Test is Coming
Louisville Bioscience Licenses Dx Tech from U of Louisville’s Brown Cancer Center
Louisville Bioscience has exclusively licensed a screening and diagnostic platform based on differential scanning calorimetry from the University of Louisville James Graham Brown Cancer Center, the school said last week.
The technology can be used to analyze bodily fluids, especially blood plasma, for the purposes of disease screening. LBI hopes to develop the technology further into early-stage diagnostic tests for a variety of diseases.
In preliminary testing, blood plasma from individuals with rheumatoid arthritis, Lyme disease, and lupus produced patterns that differed significantly from those of healthy individuals.
Differential scanning calorimetry creates a visual map of how blood proteins behave when heated, providing clues to specific diseases, Louisville said. The technique was developed by U of L scientists Jonathan Chaires, Nichola Garbett, and Bennett Jenson.
Financial terms of the licensing agreement were not disclosed.

Here is a research paper

That tells more about the research on this test.
I wonder if they will just take all of us and test us!
It shows disease progression and shows also when you're well! Finally!

This is great news ! I know they have a blood test that can diagnose CFS... available in about a year. (and no, the CDC did not have anything to do with this blood test).
Thanks. Hopefully this may clear up some of the testing controversy in the future. I wonder if this can be done now.
