IMMUNOPHENOTYPING BY FLOW CYTOMETRY CD38 Test
Test Cost: AED 480.0
Symptoms and Diagnosis
The CD38 test is a flow cytometry-based immunophenotyping assay that measures the expression of CD38 on the surface of cells. CD38 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is expressed on a variety of cell types, including lymphocytes, monocytes, and dendritic cells. The CD38 test is commonly used in clinical and research settings to identify and characterize different cell populations based on their CD38 expression. It can be used to determine the activation status of immune cells, as CD38 expression is often upregulated upon cell activation. Additionally, CD38 expression can be used to differentiate between different subsets of immune cells, such as B cells, T cells, and natural killer cells.
Test Details
To perform the CD38 test, cells are first stained with fluorescently labeled antibodies specific for CD38. The stained cells are then analyzed using flow cytometry, a technique that allows for the simultaneous measurement of multiple parameters on individual cells. The flow cytometer detects the fluorescence emitted by the labeled antibodies and generates a histogram that represents the distribution of CD38 expression levels within the cell population.
Pre Test Information
Please provide a brief clinical history before conducting the CD38 test.
Report Delivery
Sample should be delivered daily by 9 am, and the report will be available on the same day.
Test Department
The CD38 test is conducted in the Flow Cytometry department.
Doctor
The CD38 test is usually requested by Oncologists and Hematologists.
Sample Condition
For the CD38 test, the sample should be 3 mL (2 mL min.) whole blood in 1 Lavender Top (EDTA) tube and 3 mL (2 mL min.) whole blood in 1 Green Top (Sodium Heparin) tube OR 2 mL (1 mL min.) Bone marrow in 1 Green Top (Sodium heparin) tube. The sample should be shipped immediately at 18-22°C and should not be refrigerated or frozen. Please specify the time, date, and clinical details on the test request form.

The flow cytometer detects the fluorescence emitted by the labeled antibodies and generates a histogram that represents the distribution of CD38 expression levels within the cell population. The CD38 test can provide valuable information about the immune system’s response to various diseases and conditions. For example, increased CD38 expression on immune cells has been observed in certain autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. Conversely, decreased CD38 expression has been associated with immunodeficiency disorders. In summary, the CD38 test is a flow cytometry-based assay that measures the expression of CD38 on immune cells. It can be used to identify and characterize different cell populations, assess immune cell activation, and provide insights into immune system function in various diseases and conditions. |
