Test Overview
Direct Immunofluorescence using Flow Cytometric techniques.
Evaluation of acquired immunodeficiencies. A partial T-cell panel is run including CD3, CD4, CD8, and CD4:CD8 ratio (T4:T8 ratio).
I3 reference ranges.docx
*Pediatric Reference Ranges from Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, vol. 112, No. 5, 11/2003 and studies performed at Michigan Medicine Flow Cytometry Laboratory. Absolute ranges are calculated utilizing absolute lymphocyte count ranges for the same age groups provided by the hematology laboratory.
* Reference ranges may change over time. Please refer to the original patient report when evaluating results.
