Reference Values

500-1500 ng/mL

 

Test Information:  OKT3, Plasma Quantitative

With a 5 mg/day dosage of OKT3 for immunosuppression, plasma

levels usually rise within 2-3 days to a steady state

between 500-1500 ng/mL. Values are often lower during the

first few days of therapy (Transplantation 42:507, 1986).

Early, abnormal consumption of OKT3 by host anti-OKT3

antibodies can be detected by a drop in plasma OKT3.

(Transplantation 47:533, 1989).
