HelpTest Code CEE49 CD49d Cell Expression Evaluation, Varies
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 CD49d expression only. For CD20 expression, order CEE20 / CD20 Cell Expression Evaluation, Varies. For CD52 expression, order CEE52 / CD52 Cell Expression Evaluation, Varies.
