Methodology

Method:  Flow Cytometry

Analytical Volume:  Dependent on patient's white count and testing requested. If <1mL is collected please ask to recollect in order to obtain minimum volume of 1mL. If unable to recollect and sample volume is <0.350mL (350uL) please cancel and do not send to Cell Markers for testing. If unable to recollect and sample is between 0.350mL and 1mL (350ul-1mL) please send to Cell Markers, but let patient and/or patient family know that there is a strong possibility that we will not be able to perform the testing due to low volume. We will do our best and understand that the volume needed is dependent on the white count and the specific antibodies that are ordered.  (The higher the white count the less volume needed. The more antibodies ordered the more volume needed.)

Reference Range

Reference values accompany patient report.
 

Description

The leukocyte adhesion panel is used to evaluate for the presence or absence of key molecules on white blood cells that are necessary for their migration out of peripheral blood circulation and into the tissues.
