Unit Code 88800:
B-Cell Phenotyping Profile for Immunodeficiency and Immune Competence Assessment, Blood
Useful For
Screening for common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) and
hyper-IgM syndromes
Assessing B cell subset reconstitution after stem cell or
bone marrow transplant
Assessing response to B cell-depleting immunotherapy
Identifying defects in TACI and BAFF-R in patients presenting
with clinical symptoms and other laboratory features consistent
with CVID
