T-Cell Subsets, Naive, Memory, and Activated, Blood

Use

Determining the presence of naive, memory, and activated T cells in various clinical contexts including autoimmune diseases, immunodeficiency states, T-cell recovery post-hematopoietic stem cell transplant, DiGeorge syndrome, and as a measure for T-cell immune competence. Naive T-cells results can be used as a surrogate marker for thymic-derived T-cell reconstitution, when used in conjunction with assessment of T-cell receptor excision circles. Assessing a patient's relative risk for infections, and evaluating T-cell reconstitution after hematopoietic stem cell transplant, chemotherapy, biological therapy, immunosuppression, or immunomodulator therapy, among others.
