Unit Code 87959:
T-Cell Receptor Excision Circles (TREC) Analysis for Immune Reconstitution
Useful For
Measuring T cell output or reconstitution (thymopoiesis) following
hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or highly active
antiretroviral therapy (HAART)
Evaluating T cell immune competence in patients with primary
immunodeficiencies, with idiopathic T cell deficiencies, or receiving
immunotherapy or cancer vaccines
Assessing T cell recovery following thymus transplants for
DiGeorge's syndrome
