A strong immune system requires a balance between activation and regulation—too weak, and we succumb to infections; too strong, and we face autoimmunity.

The Immune Response BioMap evaluates immune cell function, inflammation levels, antibody response, and essential nutrient status, giving a comprehensive picture of immunity.

BioMap included tests are listed below.

    • CBC examines the three major components of blood: RBCs, WBCs, and Platelets.

    • RBC Health (oxygen transport & anemia assessment): Hematocrit, Hemoglobin, MCH, MCHC, MCV, RBC Count, RDW.

    • WBC Health (immune response): Basophils, Eosinophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Neutrophils, WBC Count

    • Platelet Health (clotting & bleeding disorders): MPV, Platelet Count

    • Biomarkers: 33

    • Ferritin is well known as the primary storage protein for iron, but it also plays a key role in the immune system—both in supporting and regulating immune responses.

    • Immune cells like T cells, B cells, and macrophages rely on iron to proliferate and function. Low ferritin = low iron = weakened immune response (fatigue, poor wound healing, greater infection risk)

    • Additionally, many pathogens (bacteria, viruses) need iron to replicate. During infection or inflammation, the body raises ferritin levels to sequester iron and keep it away from microbes This is why ferritin levels often go up during infection or inflammation—even if your iron levels are low. This is part of the innate immune defense, known as "nutritional immunity."

    • Reference range: <3 mg/L

    • Optimal range: <1

    • hs-CRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) is a key marker of systemic inflammation and plays an active role in the innate immune response

    • hs-CRP acts as both a marker and a modulator of immune activity, helping the body recognize and respond to infection and tissue damage while offering insight into chronic inflammatory conditions.

    • hs-CRP is a much more sensitive version of the CRP test, able to detect very low levels of CRP in the blood. It’s often used to detect low-grade, chronic inflammation (e.g., in cardiovascular disease, autoimmune conditions).

    • Reference range: 600 - 1640 mg/dL

    • Optimal range: 900–1200

    • IgG (Immunoglobulin G): as the most abundant antibody in the immune system, IgG provides unique insights into the immune system’s current and long-term performance.

    • IgG is a foundational biomarker for assessing immune response.

    • Immunoglobulins are proteins normally found in the body that act as antibodies.

    • Immunoglobulin M (IgM) is a large antibody found in the blood that is the first to appear after initial exposure to an infectious organism.

    • Immunoglobulins are proteins normally found in the body that act as antibodies.

    • Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is an antibody commonly found in mucosal linings; it helps protect against pulmonary and gastrointestinal infections.

    • Reference range: >30 ng/mL

    • Optimal range: 50–70

    • Vitamin D is known for its role in maintaining bone health, but it is also a key player in immune regulation, and low levels can significantly impair your body’s ability to fight infections, regulate inflammation, and prevent autoimmune dysfunction.

    • Vitamin D is your immune system’s thermostat—it activates the defenses when needed, and calms them down when they’re overreacting. Deficiency weakens your ability to fight infection and increases your risk of chronic and autoimmune diseases.

    • When vitamin D is low, your innate immune system becomes sluggish—slower to detect and kill invaders.
