Lateral Flow Immunoassay

How Can A Lateral Flow Immunoassay Work?

During the last 20 years only a few technological developments have made the claim to have taken ultrasound testing completely out of the lab. One which has, and continues to be in widespread and wide-spread use is the lateral flow immunoassay, sometimes referred to as the blood test.

The lymphatic system is a highly complex system which controls and transports blood from one part of the body to another, keeping it clean and safe. Lymphatic fluid carries nutrients and wastes from body tissues to other organs, making them work properly and safely. As such, a blood test is very useful in determining the effectiveness of a specific treatment. Because lymphatic fluid travels through the body, lymph nodes are located all over the body, including the neck, armpits, groin, buttock, groin, thigh, back, abdomen, etc.

With this said, it is important to understand that the lymphatic fluid which moves through the body in the course of its daily function will carry many contaminants and waste materials with it, including white blood cells, antibodies, and pathogens. These contaminants and wastes are then filtered and removed in the lymphatic fluid where they can be safely discarded into the lymphatic fluid and blood of the body. While it is normal for the body to excrete these wastes, it is also normal for there to be some remnants, which may become lodged in the lining of the lymphatic system.

When a patient has a condition like chronic fatigue syndrome or lupus, their bodies can develop the ability to produce an excess amount of mucous, which clogs up the lymphatic drainage and causes a build-up of mucous in the lymphatic system. This excess mucous, along with a build-up of toxins in the blood, becomes trapped in the lining of the lymphatic system and results in symptoms such as fever, fatigue, nausea, vomiting,cramps, bloating, dizziness, etc. This is when the lateral flow immunosassay can come into play.

Through a blood test, the doctor can determine the presence of toxins and pathogens in the lymphatic system, thus providing a more accurate diagnosis and helping to determine how well the treatment is working. This is especially important in the case of a lupus patient, who might suffer from systemic lupus erythematosus, a condition where the immune system's attack on the body's own tissues is compromised, resulting in a number of symptoms.

The lateral flow immunoassays works by placing a probe of known size inside the body through tiny incisions and attaching it to a surface in the body. This probe is surrounded by a fluid which contains a biological indicator such as hemoglobin, a colorimetric dye, a fluorescent protein, and an antimicrobial marker.
