IMMUNOPHENOTYPING BY FLOW CYTOMETRY CD8 Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the IMMUNOPHENOTYPING BY FLOW CYTOMETRY CD8 Test. This test is used to determine the presence and quantity of CD8-positive T cells in a sample.
Test Details
The CD8 test is a flow cytometry-based immunophenotyping assay that plays a crucial role in the immune response against viral infections and cancer. During the test, a blood or tissue sample is collected and processed to isolate the immune cells. These cells are then stained with fluorescently labeled antibodies that specifically bind to the CD8 marker. Flow cytometry is used to analyze the stained cells and measure the fluorescence intensity, allowing for the identification and quantification of CD8-positive T cells.
The CD8 test is commonly used in research and clinical settings to assess the immune response, monitor disease progression, and evaluate the effectiveness of immunotherapies. It provides valuable information about the quantity and functionality of CD8-positive T cells, which can help in diagnosing and managing various immune-related disorders.
Test Components and Price
The IMMUNOPHENOTYPING BY FLOW CYTOMETRY CD8 Test costs 560.0 AED. The sample condition required for the test includes 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 samples should be shipped immediately at 18-22°C and should not be refrigerated or frozen. It is important to specify the time, date, and clinical details on the test request form.

The CD8 test is a flow cytometry-based immunophenotyping assay that is used to determine the presence and quantity of CD8-positive T cells in a sample. CD8 is a cell surface marker expressed on cytotoxic T cells, which play a crucial role in the immune response against viral infections and cancer. During the CD8 test, a blood or tissue sample is collected and processed to isolate the immune cells. These cells are then stained with fluorescently labeled antibodies that specifically bind to the CD8 marker. Flow cytometry is then used to analyze the stained cells and measure the fluorescence intensity, allowing for the identification and quantification of CD8-positive T cells.
