NY State Approved Indicates the status of NY State approval and if the test is orderable for NY State clients.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Assessing cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific immune competence in allo-HSCT patients who are at risk for developing late CMV disease (beyond day 100 after transplant)
Assessing CMV-specific immune competence in solid organ transplant patients who are at high risk for CMV reactivation posttransplant
Monitoring immune competence in patients post-primary CMV infection after transplant who are at risk for CMV reactivation after the cessation of antiviral prophylaxis
Identifying individuals who are likely to be protected from posttransplant CMV infection and those who are at higher risk of CMV reactivation
The global CD8 T cell immune competence assay is useful for determining over immunosuppression within the CD8 T cell compartment, when used on transplant recipients and patients with autoimmune disorders receiving therapy with immunosuppressant agents
