Ordering Recommendation

Primarily for evaluating recall antigen responses in patients with suspected cellular immune dysfunction, such as primary and secondary immunodeficiencies. Other uses include monitoring lymphocyte recovery and competence after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and monitoring lymphocyte function during immunosuppressive therapy. Do not order for patients younger than 3 months unless clinical history of candidiasis is present.

Interpretive Data

This test measures T lymphocyte proliferation in response to stimulation with recall antigens tetanus toxoid and Candida, determined by flow cytometry. Proliferating cells are detected by fluorescent labeling. Results are reported as percent proliferating cells of total specific cell populations.

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.
