HelpTest Code IABCS B-Cell Phenotyping Profile for Immunodeficiency and Immune Competence Assessment, Blood
Reporting Name
Immune Assessment B Cell Subsets, BUseful For
Screening for common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) and hyper-IgM syndromes
Assessing B-cell subset reconstitution after stem cell or bone marrow transplant
Assessing response to B-cell-depleting immunotherapy
Identifying defects in transmembrane activator and calcium modulator and cyclophilin ligand(CAML) interactor (TACI)and B-cell-activating factor receptor(BAFF-R) in patients presenting with clinical symptoms and laboratory features consistent with CVID
This test is not indicated for the evaluation of lymphoproliferative disorders (eg, leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma).
Profile Information

Testing Algorithm
If immune assessment B-cell subsets test is abnormal, then confirmation will be performed at an additional charge.
Â
When multiple specimen types are required to perform a panel of tests, the laboratory will perform the tests for which the appropriate specimen type was received, and the laboratory will cancel those for which the appropriate specimen was not received. Be advised that this may change the degree of interpretation received with the report.
Performing Laboratory
Mayo Clinic Laboratories in Rochester
Specimen Type
Whole Blood EDTAOrdering Guidance
This test requires multiple whole blood specimens to perform all testing. If only one whole blood specimen type is received, only the testing associated with that specimen type will be performed. Be advised that this may change the degree of interpretation received with the report. If only the refrigerate EDTA sample is received, this test will be canceled and converted to RBCS / Relative B-Cell Subset Analysis Percentage, Blood, which provides the relative B-cell subset values without quantitation.
This test is a screening test and further analyses will be required to complete a diagnostic workup for common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) (eg, CVID / Common Variable Immunodeficiency Confirmation Flow Panel, Blood) and hyper-IgM (XHIM / X-Linked Hyper IgM Syndrome, Blood and CD40 / B-Cell CD40 Expression by Flow Cytometry, Blood).
Shipping Instructions
Specimens are required to be received in the laboratory weekdays and by 4 p.m. on Friday. Collect and package specimen as close to shipping time as possible.
It is recommended that specimens arrive within 24 hours of collection.
Samples arriving on the weekend and observed holidays may be canceled.
Necessary Information
1. Date of collection is required.
2. Ordering physician's name and phone number are required.
Specimen Required
Two separate EDTA whole blood specimens are required: 1 refrigerated and 1 at ambient transport temperature.
For serial monitoring, it is recommended that specimens are collected at the same time of day.
