Jivora Multi-Microbial Immune Profile Panel™
Jivora Multi-Microbial Immune Profile Panel™: Comprehensive Marker Mapping
The Jivora Multi-Microbial Immune Profile is an expansive laboratory resource designed to provide a detailed view of the immune markers associated with various environmental pathogens. While many wellness investigations focus solely on Borrelia, markers like Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydia pneumoniae can provide essential context to your immunological history.
This home blood collection kit utilizes IgG, IgM, and IgA antibody testing to provide a comprehensive view of your body's interaction with multiple microbial markers.
Who It’s For
This specialized home blood collection kit is a professional choice for:
-
Wellness Investigators: Individuals looking beyond a single marker to understand their broader immunological landscape.
-
Complex Health Detectives: Those seeking a professional laboratory baseline for markers associated with persistent systemic inflammation.
-
Proactive Health Strategists: Individuals working with healthcare providers to map out potential environmental triggers.
What It Measures
This panel provides targeted analysis of five distinct microbial markers:
-
Bartonella (hens. + quint.): IgG and IgM testing to detect immune responses associated with B. henselae and B. quintana.
-
Babesia (IgG/IgM): Screening for markers related to the Babesia parasite.
-
Chlamydia pneumoniae (IgG/IgA): Identification of immune response markers for this intracellular bacterium.
-
Mycoplasma pneumoniae (IgG/IgA): Detection of antibodies associated with M. pneumoniae exposure.
-
Multi-Immunoglobulin Analysis: Includes IgA markers to provide a detailed look at mucosal immune activity.

About Your Jivora Multi-Microbial Immune Profile Panel™
Convenient Access to Wellness Insights
You can order your testing kit directly through Jivora Health, an authorized ArminLabs partner. Our streamlined online process respects your privacy and security, allowing you to take a proactive role in monitoring your immune health without the need for a prior office visit.
Simple, Needle-Free Collection at Home
Each kit features the FDA-cleared Tasso+ device, designed for easy and virtually painless blood collection from the upper arm. This innovative technology allows you to collect a high-quality sample without traditional needles. If you prefer, a standard clinical blood draw option is also available. Both methods are validated for sample stability and laboratory accuracy.
Informational Results for Better Conversations
Your report provides a detailed look at how your immune system reacts to specific tick-borne antigens. These findings are educational in nature and intended to help you have more informed discussions with your healthcare provider. Please note that these results are not a medical diagnosis and should not be used as a standalone basis for a treatment plan.
Medications and Testing
While most common medications do not impact the results, certain intensive therapies - such as strong immunosuppressants, chemotherapy, or interferon-gamma therapy - may affect your immune system’s natural reactivity. We recommend consulting your clinician before sample collection if you are currently undergoing these treatments.
Fast, Secure, and Supported
Once your sample is received by the laboratory, your secure digital report is typically available within 7 to 10 business days. To help you navigate your findings, Jivora Health provides access to a complimentary educational review to explain the data markers in your report.
Comprehensive Immune Screening
Traditional screenings often focus on a single strain of Borrelia. The ArminLabs approach provides a broader perspective by screening for reactivity to Borrelia burgdorferi, Borrelia afzelii, and Borrelia garinii. By including persistent-form (round-body) antigens, this test offers a more comprehensive view of your immune profile, reducing the limitations found in narrower testing methods.
Understanding Your Immune Markers
-
IgM Reactivity: Typically associated with a more recent or active immune response.
-
IgG Reactivity: Generally indicates an immune memory or long-term reactivity. ArminLabs calibrates these markers to provide you and your healthcare professional with a clear map of your immune system’s history and current status.
The Science of Antigen Diversity
Borrelia bacteria are known for their ability to shift forms, including "round-body" or pleomorphic states. Because these different forms can trigger different immune responses, our testing includes specific antigens for both active and persistent forms. This multi-antigen approach ensures a more thorough assessment of immune reactivity that standard screenings might overlook.
Regulatory Status: The Tasso+ collection device is FDA-cleared. The laboratory tests provided by ArminLabs are Laboratory Developed Tests (LDTs). These tests have not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The FDA has determined that such clearance or approval is not necessary for LDTs when performed by a CLIA-certified laboratory.
Educational Use: These results are for informational purposes only. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.

Technical Information ▼
▶ key fact
▶ material
•IgM: Signals a new, active, or reactivating infection.
•IgG: Represents long-term memory and past or chronic exposure.
•IgA: Indicates mucosal activity, which is particularly relevant for tracking persistent respiratory tract colonization.
▶ further information on the test
•Bartonella Staging: Uses separate IgG and IgM tests for two species (henselae and quintana) to precisely time the infection.
•Atypical Respiratory Pair: Evaluates Chlamydia and Mycoplasma together because these intracellular bacteria are hard to clear and often missed by standard respiratory tests.
•Tick-Borne Parasite Screen: A combined IgG/IgM test for Babesia to identify intraerythrocytic activity.
▶ further information on the pathogen
•Vector-borne/Parasitic: Bartonella (transmitted by ticks, fleas, or cat scratches) and Babesia (a malaria-like parasite transmitted by Ixodes ticks).
•Atypical Intracellular Bacteria: Chlamydia pneumoniae and Mycoplasma pneumoniae (which lacks a cell wall). Both are transmitted via airborne droplets and are frequently linked to chronic fatigue and persistent respiratory illness.
