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