Yes, people with an HLA-DR variant are less able to mount a strong immune response against mycotoxins. In other words, they will likely get "false negatives" if they do antibody testing. Therefore, Vibrant’s urine-based Mycotoxin test is better than blood-based antigen mycotoxin test.
Is Vibrant's Mycotoxins test (urine) more accurate than an antibody test for people with an HLA-DR variant?
