Symptom Improvement
Many patients experience noticeable symptom improvement
within 4-8 weeks of implementing targeted mucosal immune
support protocols [73].
Secretory IgA Normalization
Total sIgA levels and specific antibody reactivity typically begin to
normalize within 3-6 months of consistent intervention [74].
Long-term Recovery
Complete restoration of mucosal immune balance generally
requires 6-18 months of comprehensive support, depending on the
severity and duration of dysfunction [75].
Clinical Integration of Array 14 with Other Testing
For a comprehensive assessment of immune function and barrier
integrity, Array 14 can be integrated with other functional testing
modalities:
Complementary Cyrex Arrays
Several other Cyrex panels provide complementary information
that can guide more targeted interventions:
Array 2: Intestinal Antigenic Permeability Screen
Directly assesses intestinal barrier integrity, which often correlates
with mucosal immune dysfunction [76].
Array 3X: Wheat/Gluten Proteome Reactivity & Autoimmunity
Provides detailed assessment of systemic immune reactions to
various gluten-related proteins, complementing the mucosal
reactivity measured in Array 14 [77].
Array 5: Multiple Autoimmune Reactivity Screen
