IMMUNOPHENOTYPING BY FLOW CYTOMETRY CD79b Test
Introduction
The CD79b test is a type of immunophenotyping test that is performed using flow cytometry. CD79b is a protein that is found on the surface of B cells, which are a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response. The CD79b test is used to identify and analyze B cells in a sample of blood or other bodily fluids. It can help diagnose and monitor various diseases and conditions, including B cell lymphomas, leukemias, and autoimmune disorders.
Test Details
During the CD79b test, a sample of blood or other bodily fluid is treated with fluorescently labeled antibodies that specifically bind to CD79b. These antibodies are then passed through a flow cytometer, which is a machine that can analyze the characteristics of individual cells. As the cells pass through the flow cytometer, they are illuminated by lasers, causing the fluorescently labeled antibodies to emit light. The flow cytometer detects this light and measures the intensity of fluorescence, allowing for the identification and quantification of CD79b-positive B cells.
The results of the CD79b test can provide information about the presence and percentage of CD79b-positive B cells in the sample, as well as their characteristics such as size, shape, and other surface markers. This information can be used by healthcare professionals to make a diagnosis, determine disease progression, or monitor the effectiveness of treatment.
Test Cost and Components
The cost of the CD79b test is 480.0 AED. The test requires a sample condition of 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. Time, date, and clinical details should be specified on the test request form.
Report Delivery
The sample should be delivered daily by 9 am, and the report will be delivered on the same day.
Method
The CD79b test is performed using flow cytometry.
Test Type
The CD79b test is a type of cancer test.
Doctor and Test Department
The CD79b test is performed by an Oncologist in the FLOW CYTOMETRY department.
Pre Test Information
Brief clinical history should be provided before the test.
Conclusion
The CD79b test is an important tool in immunophenotyping by flow cytometry, allowing for the identification and analysis of B cells in various disease states. It can help diagnose and monitor B cell lymphomas, leukemias, and autoimmune disorders. If you suspect any of these conditions, consult an Oncologist and consider getting the CD79b test.
