Cyrex Laboratories

Cyrex Laboratories is a Clinical Immunology Laboratory Specialising in Functional Immunology and Autoimmunity. Cyrex offers multi-tissue antibody testing to assess and monitor reactivity caused by autoimmune triggers, and early detection of complex autoimmune conditions.

The Arrays offered are as follows:

Alzheimer’s Linx

Identifies asymptomatic individuals at greater risk for developing cognitive decline including Alzheimer’s disease or other neurological disorders.
Identifies reactivity to triggers of Alzheimer’s disease or other neurological disorders.
Identifies the early stages of neurodegenerative processes.
Monitors the efficacy of lifestyle modifications for Alzheimer’s disease.

Array 2 – Intestinal Permeability Screen

Measures intestinal permeability to large molecules which aggravate the immune system.
Identifies the damaging route through the intestinal barrier

Array 3x – Wheat/Gluten Proteome Reactivity

Identifies possible Coeliac disease, non-coeliac gluten sensitivity, dermatitis herpetiformis, gluten ataxia or other wheat/gluten-related disorder.
Assesses autoimmune reactivity associated with wheat proteins and peptide.

Array 4 – Gluten-Associated Cross-Reactive Foods and Food Sensitivity

*Identifies additional dietary proteins to which the Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitive (NCGS) or Coeliac Disease (CD) patient is sensitised.
Detects cross-reactions in patients who are only experiencing limited improvements to a gluten-free diet by detecting immune reactivity to gliadin cross-reactive foods.
For patients with resistant leaky gut.
Assesses if the non-coeliac gluten sensitive or coeliac disease patient is also sensitive to dairy (statistically 1 in 2 patients).

Array 5 – Multiple Autoimmune Reactivity

One of our flagship tests.
Measures predictive antibodies, some of which can appear up to ten years before the clinical onset of disease.
Helps to economically and efficiently assess possible tissue damage to multiple organs of the body.
Useful for patients who have a diagnosed autoimmune disorder. It’s extremely common for autoimmune patients to develop concomitant autoimmune conditions.

Array 6 – Diabetes Autoimmune Reactivity

Assists in the early detection of autoimmune processes of Type 1 Diabetes, impaired blood sugar metabolism and metabolic syndrome.

Array 7 – Neurological Autoimmune Activity

For early detection of immune reactivity in pathogenesis of neuroinflammatory, neuro-autoimmune and neurodegenerative disorders.
To evaluate the severity of autoimmune response.
For early detection of autoimmune reactivity of both peripheral and central nervous system.

Array 7x Expanded Neurological Autoimmune Activity

For early detection of immune reactivity in pathogenesis of neuroinflammatory, neuro-autoimmune and neurodegenerative disorders.
To evaluate the severity of autoimmune response.
For early detection of autoimmune reactivity of both peripheral and central nervous system.
Looks at IgG + IgA combined as in Cyrex 7, and IgM.

Array 8 – Joint Autoimmune Reactivity

Assists in the early detection of mixed connective tissue disorders and in monitoring the effectiveness of treatment protocols.
Recommended for patients with joint inflammation following environmental triggers, arthritis or arthralgia patients.

Array 10 – Food Reactivity Screen

Measures reactivity to 180 food antigens in the cooked, raw, modified or processed food forms.
Assists in the early detection of dietary- related triggers of autoimmune reactivity, particularly in cases where there has historically been little improvement with multiple protocols, and monitors the effectiveness of customised dietary protocols.
Evaluates immune reactions to foods, raw and/or modified, food enzymes, lectins and food additives, including meat glue, artificial colourings and gums.
Customisation of dietary protocols for the patient.

Array 10-90 Food Reactivity Screen

Looks at Ninety Of The Most Commonly Consumed Foods From Array 10.
Ideal for those on a budget.
Assists in the early detection of dietary- related triggers of autoimmune reactivity, particularly in cases where there has historically been little improvement with multiple protocols, and monitors the effectiveness of customised dietary protocols.
Evaluates immune reactions to foods, raw and/or modified, food enzymes, lectins and food additives, including meat glue, artificial colourings and gums.
Customisation of dietary protocols for the patient.

Array 10-90x Food Reactivity Screen (Add-On)

Available as an add-on test only to Array 10-90. It includes the remaining 90 food antigens from the Array 10.
Evaluate immune reactions to foods, raw and/or modified, food enzymes, lectins and food additives, including meat glue, artificial colourings and gums.
Early detection of dietary-related triggers of autoimmune reactivity.
Customisation of dietary protocols for the patient.

Array 11 – Chemical Immune Reactivity Screen

Identifies the loss of immune tolerance associated with xenobiotic exposure, which may lead to autoimmune reactivity.
Assist in setting guidelines for the avoidance of specific chemicals to reduce autoimmune triggers.

Array 12 – Pathogen-Associated Immune Reactivity Screen

Detect immune reaction to key pathogens that may lead to multiple autoimmune reactivities.
Determine the role of pathogens in cases of ‘unexplained’ autoimmune reactivities.

Array 20 – Blood Brain Barrier Permeability

Early investigation in management of contact sports-related Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Evaluation of breach of the Blood-Brain Barrier by stress, trauma or environmental triggers, even in the absence of apparent concussion or brain injury
Assists in the assessment of increased risk of neurodegenerative disorders including, but not limited to: multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s disease), senile dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy and stroke

Array 22 – Irritable Bowel/SIBO Screen

Identifies the overgrowth of large intestinal bacteria in the small intestine and the release of bacterial cytotoxins.
Evaluates a breach of intestinal barrier.
For patients who exhibit symptoms of malabsorption, including weight loss, anaemia or fatty, greasy or floating stools.
For patients who have associated conditions such as fatigue, acid reflux, skin disorders, obesity or food intolerances.
