Array 2 - Intestinal Antigenic Permeability Screen
Cyrex
Sample type: Serum
Requires fasting: No
Phlebotomy is required for this test
Details
This test measures IgG, IgM, and IgA antibodies against endotoxins, structural and tight junction proteins. It detects disturbance in gut flora and endotoxemia, breakdown in tight junctions (occludin, zonulin), and cytoskeletal proteins. Some or all of these contribute to leaky gut to large molecules that challenge the immune system. Leaky gut to large molecules is the gateway to autoimmunity and neuroautoimmunity via blood-brain barriers damaged by endotoxins and other factors.
