Cyrex Alzheimer’s LINX – Alzheimer’s-Associated
Immune Reactivity
The all-new Cyrex Alzheimer's Test is a cutting-edge test panel designed to identify key risk factors that the latest medical research has
linked to the development of Alzheimer’s disease. It detects immune reactivity to specific environmental antigens and self-tissues, which potentially can contribute to the development of Alzheimer’s,
as well as other neurodegenerative conditions. This creates an important window of opportunity for preclinical management of those higher risk individuals, even years before the clinical onset of
disease. Alzheimer’s LINX is the result of years of intense research and development, led by Dr. Aristo Vojdani, a pioneering immunologist, recognized by many as the Father of Functional Immunology.
It is a strategically planned panel of biomarkers revealing never-before-seen clinical perspectives of brain-related immune reactivity.

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.
- Please get in touch if you are concerned about possible interferences that may relate to
you.
