Guest guest Posted September 25, 2000 Report Share Posted September 25, 2000 Judy, I am trying to get in touch with Dr. Franco's office to find out what test showed antibodies for me. All the others were negative. I know they sent one test to a lab in land and I got this info off the net: The Arthritis Research Institute 504 E. Diamond Avenue Gaithersburg, land 20877 Telephone: (301) 216-1231 M.R. Coker-Vann, Ph.D., Director Procedure for sending specimens to the laboratory: Send approximately 5 ml. of sera in a sterile tube or vial. Seal the top of the tube with tape or parafilm to avoid spills. Place in a biohazard sealable bag before putting it in a shipping container. Ship via UPS or Federal Express only, to the above address. Overnight delivery or UPS 2nd day air is preferred. If blood is drawn on Friday, please refrigerate serum and mail on Monday. Please mark package " Refrigerate upon Arrival " . I know Dr. Franco sent some of my blood to the above institute and it came back negative. However, he thought it was a possibility and I trust his judgement. I'll keep trying to get in touch with them regarding the other antibody test I took. Best of everything, Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
