Liebe Leute,
In zwei Posts wurde der ECGF bereits erwähnt. Hier noch ein Artikel aus dem Oktober 2014:
Immune response to endothelial cell growth factor is elevated during acute Lyme borreliosis but not in post-Lyme disease syndrome
http://m.ofid.oxfordjournals.org/content...1.full.pdf
"In comparison to non-Lyme healthy individuals, Lyme disease patients with multiple EM ( p < 0.001), early neurologic ( p < 0.001), late neurologic ( p < 0.001), arthritis ( p < 0.001), and refractory arthritis ( p < 0.05) manifestations displayed significantly increased antibody reactivity to ECGF. There was not a significant difference in anti-ECGF antibody reactivity between PLDS patients and post-Lyme healthy individuals. Antibodies from rabbits immunized with B. burgdorferi whole protein extract did not cross-react with ECGF. Patient serum antibody reactivity to ECGF could not be inhibited by competition with B. burgdorferi proteins."
Kann ECGF also als "Marker" für frische Borrelieninfekte und späte Neuroborreliosen sowie Lyme-Arthritis verwendet werden? Oder ist das unspezifisch? Macht das ein Labor?
