Immunophenotyping by Flow Cytometry CD23 Test
Introduction to the Test
The Immunophenotyping by Flow Cytometry CD23 Test is a sophisticated diagnostic tool utilized to evaluate the presence of specific cell markers on the surface of blood cells. This test is crucial in the identification and classification of various hematological malignancies, particularly in differentiating between types of B-cell disorders. By analyzing the expression of CD23, healthcare providers can gain essential insights into a patient’s health status and tailor appropriate treatment plans.
What the Test Measures
This test primarily measures the expression of the CD23 antigen on B-cells. The presence or absence of this marker can indicate specific types of leukemias and lymphomas, assisting in accurate diagnosis and treatment decisions.
