Tests that measure Candida-induced Lymphocyte Proliferation

Antigen-induced Lymphocyte Proliferation Panel Candida Tetanus TB PPD

Laboratory
Quest Diagnostics
Test code
91977
Specimen
Blood
Fasting
Not stated as required

What the laboratory says this test is for

Measurement of human lymphocyte proliferative responses to various stimuli is a fundamental technique used to assess their biological status and functions. Lymphocyte proliferation response to antigens, such as Candida, tetanus toxoid and tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD), are evaluated as a function of memory in cell-mediated immunity.

Candida-induced Lymphocyte Proliferation

Laboratory
Quest Diagnostics
Test code
17270
Specimen
Blood
Fasting
Not stated as required

What the laboratory says this test is for

Measurement of human lymphocytes' proliferative responses to various stimuli is a fundamental technique used to assess their biological status and functions. Lymphocyte proliferation response to antigens, such as candida, tetanus toxoid and tuberculin Purified Protein Derivative (PPD), are evaluated as a function of memory in cell-mediated immunity.

Mitogen- and Antigen-induced Lymphocyte Proliferation Panel

Laboratory
Quest Diagnostics
Test code
91978
Specimen
Blood
Fasting
Not stated as required

What the laboratory says this test is for

Measurement of human lymphocytes' proliferative responses to various stimuli is a fundamental technique used to assess their biological status and functions. Mitogens, such as plant lectins phytohemagglutinin (PHA), concanavalin A (Con A) and pokeweed mitogen (PWM), are able to nonspecifically stimulate lymphocyte proliferation and used to evaluate patient immune responsiveness. Lymphocyte proliferation response to antigens, such as Candida, tetanus toxoid and tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD), are evaluated as a function of memory in cell-mediated immunity.

About this page

Everything above is drawn from the named sources and shown as they published it. Reference ranges belong to the laboratory that issued them and the population it named; they are not a universal normal. This page describes the biomarker in general and does not interpret anyone's result. For your own numbers, talk to a clinician, or use Aumnivida, which reads the same graph next to your records.
