Default Antibody/Antigen Neuropathy Tests-ELISA and Western Blot
Hello,

Does anyone know about the usefulness of having ELISA neuropathy antibody/antigen tests, WITH or WITHOUT Western Blots?

-Quest does some of the neuropathy antibody testing (but uses just ELISA, then will do WESTERN BLOT if ELISA is positive).

-Athena does both immediately, ELISA and WESTERN BLOT...

Is there a diagnostic benefit in using 2 testing methodologies versus just 1 testing methodology?

Thank you for reading,
Ana
