Features in this landmark new panel include:

  • 7 categories of key contributing factors to Cognitive Decline or other neurodegenerative conditions
  • Nearly 40 biomarkers, many of them offered for the first time anywhere
  • Brand New Blood-Brain Barrier antibody biomarkers
  • New biomarker to test immune reactivity to Amyloid-Beta
  • The eight most cross-reactive foods (out of 208 studied) newly-discovered to have potential association with AD
  • New protein biomarkers that reveal immune reactivity and cross reactivity to key brain cells and neurons at the heart of AD
  • New Oral bacterial biomarker shown to be associated with AD
  • Biomarkers for a collection of chemicals and metals discovered to have associations to AD
  • Performed on the Gold Standard ELISA platform, the most reliable lab technology on the market

 

7 groups of KEY contributing factors:

BRAIN PROTEINS • Assessing reactivity to brain proteins beyond amyloid-beta and tau protein

GROWTH FACTORS • Measuring immune reactivity to factors involved in neuronal regeneration

ENTERIC NERVE, ENZYMES AND NEUROLOGICAL PEPTIDES • Assessing immune reactivity to the communication pathway between the gut and the brain

PATHOGENS • Assessing immune reactivity to pathogens known to cross-react with amyloid-beta

CHEMICALS • Biomarkers for a collection of chemicals/heavy metals discovered to have associations to AD

FOODS CROSS-REACTIVE TO AMYLOID BETA • 8 out of 208 common foods, newly discovered to have a potential association with AD.

POSSIBLE INTERFERENCES WITH THE RESULTS OF CYREX TESTS:

While Cyrex is unable to provide an exhaustive list of medications, foods, conditions or other factors that could interfere with the results of a Cyrex test, please note that:

  • Immunosuppressant and corticosteroid drugs can reduce antibody production and cause false-negative results.
  • Recent antigen exposure is necessary in order to measure antibody responses.
  • Infections can interfere with test results.
  • For more information on possible interferences, please consult the FAQs on the Cyrex website.
