Maternal T Cell Engraftment in SCID
Ordering Recommendation
Use to monitor engraftment of maternal T cells in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) prior to allogenic stem cell transplantation.
New York DOH Approval Status
Specimen Required
Lavender (EDTA), pink (K2EDTA), or yellow (ACD solution A)
Transport 3 mL whole blood. (Min: 2 mL)
Preferred transport temp: Room temperature. Also acceptable: Refrigerated. Ship overnight. Specimens should be received within 24 hours of collection for optimal isolation of T cells.
Frozen, clotted, or hemolyzed specimens.
Room temperature: 3 days; Refrigerated: 3 days; Frozen: Unacceptable
Methodology
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) / Fragment Analysis
Performed
Sun-Sat
Reported
5-9 days
Reference Interval
| Type Maternal | Maternal cells only. |
| Type Patient | Patient cells only. |
| Mixed | Patient and maternal T cells present. Semiquantitative results of percentage of patient and maternal cells will be reported. |
Interpretive Data

Laboratory Developed Test (LDT)
Note
To complete Maternal T Cell Engraftment in SCID testing, samples should be collected to perform the following three tests: (1) A buccal brush collected from the patient for Maternal T Cell Engraftment in SCID, Pre-Engraftment Specimen (ARUP test code 2014694), used as a genetic baseline for the patient. (2) A peripheral blood sample from the biological mother for Maternal T Cell Engraftment in SCID, Maternal Specimen (ARUP test code 2014704), used as a genetic baseline for the mother. (3) A peripheral blood sample collected from the patient for Maternal T Cell Engraftment in SCID (ARUP test code 2014699). T cells isolated from the blood sample will be genotyped for comparison to the patient and biological mother baseline genotypes.
