I saw my immunologist at the Royal Free Hospital today. He invited me to contribute blood samples for a project looking for bio-markers in ME. It's likely to start in about 6 months time.
I assume it's this:
http://www.lshtm.ac.uk/eph/nphir/research/cfs-me/index.html
(Could be something entirely different, but he did mention UCL as a collaborator.)
I suggested including an assessment of Mannose Binding Lectin deficiency, since I and others seem to have this, and he replied that they would look into it.
Sounds promising, but I hope they're building on all the previous attempts to develop a biomarker.
