Cytokine Panel, TH2, Plasma
Also known as: CYT TH2 P
Use
Primarily used for research and to support attempts to understand the pathogenesis of immune, infectious, allergic, or inflammatory disorders. Results are used to understand the pathophysiology of these disorders. This test may aid in the study of cytokine involvement in these conditions and is not intended for diagnostic purposes exclusively.
Special Instructions
Cytokine levels may demonstrate diurnal variation. For longitudinal comparison, it is recommended that cytokine levels be determined at the same time of day.
