Test Code CEE52 CD52 Cell Expression Evaluation, Varies

Reporting Name

CD52 Cell Expression Evaluation, V

Performing Laboratory

Mayo Clinic Laboratories in Rochester

Useful For

Detecting cell-surface antigens on malignant cells that are potential therapeutic antibody targets, specifically CD52

 

Determining the eligibility of patients for monoclonal antibody therapies

 

Monitoring response to the therapeutic antibody

Method Name

Immunophenotyping


Ordering Guidance


This test should not be used as a shortened diagnostic panel. For a complete diagnostic B-cell, T-cell, or acute immunophenotyping panel, order LCMS / Leukemia/Lymphoma Immunophenotyping, Flow Cytometry, Varies.

 

This test evaluates CD52 expression only. For CD20 expression, order CEE20 / CD20 Cell Expression Evaluation, Varies. For CD49d expression, order CEE49 / CD49d Cell Expression Evaluation, Varies.

Reference Values

Normal individuals have B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, or myeloid cells that express the corresponding cell-surface antigens in question.

Interpretation

The immunophenotyping report will summarize the pattern of antigenic expression on malignant cells and, if appropriate, the normal cellular counterparts that correspond to the therapeutic monoclonal antibody target.
