Specimen Required
Plain red or serum separator tube (SST).
Allow complete clotting of red blood cells (up to 1 hour), then separate serum from cells within 30 minutes and freeze immediately. Transport 1 mL serum. (Min: 0.5 mL) If ordered in conjunction with a C1q Binding Assay, transfer TWO (2) 1 mL aliquots of serum to individual ARUP Standard Transport Tubes.
CRITICAL FROZEN. Separate specimens must be submitted when multiple tests are ordered.
Non-frozen specimens. Specimens exposed to repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Ambient: Unacceptable; Refrigerated: Unacceptable; Frozen: 30 days

Interpretive Data
Many autoimmune disorders, chronic infections and malignancies are associated with circulating immune complexes. Quantitation of immune complexes assists in staging immunologic disorders.
This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by ARUP Laboratories. It has not been cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. This test was performed in a CLIA certified laboratory and is intended for clinical purposes.
Laboratory Developed Test (LDT)
Note
Immune complexes bind to Raji Cells via their complement receptors. The immunoglobulin portion of the immune complex is then detected by flow cytometry with anti-human IgG-FITC.
