ABCD3, Blood
This test measures the absolute count and percentage of CD3+ T cells in the blood. It is important for evaluating immune function and diagnosing immune disorders.
Overview of ABCD3, Blood in Thane
The Absolute Count and Percent for CD3 test measures both the absolute number and percentage of CD3-positive T lymphocytes in a blood sample. CD3 is a surface marker found on all mature T-cells, which play a central role in the body’s immune response against infections and abnormal cells. Performed using flow cytometry, this test provides valuable information about immune system function and is commonly used in the evaluation of immunodeficiency disorders, autoimmune diseases, certain blood cancers, and in monitoring individuals receiving immunosuppressive therapy or organ transplantation.
Who should get this test done?
This test may be recommended for individuals who:
● Have recurrent or persistent infections that may indicate an impaired immune system.
● Are being evaluated for suspected immunodeficiency disorders.
● Require immune monitoring during or after immunosuppressive therapy or organ transplantation.
● Have blood cancers such as leukemia or lymphoma that require immunophenotyping.
● Need assessment of T-cell status as part of a comprehensive immune system evaluation.
Why consider this test?
T-cells are key players in the body’s immune defense, and changes in their number or proportion can provide important clues about immune health. Measuring both the absolute count and the percentage of CD3-positive cells offers a more complete picture than either value alone. This test helps healthcare providers assess immune function, investigate immune-related disorders, monitor disease progression, and evaluate the response to treatment, making it an essential tool in the management of many immune and hematological conditions.
More information
The test is performed on a blood sample using flow cytometry, an advanced laboratory technique that identifies immune cells based on specific surface markers. CD3 is present on all mature T-lymphocytes, making it a reliable marker for assessing the overall T-cell population. The test is often included as part of a broader lymphocyte subset panel and may be requested alongside markers such as CD4, CD8, CD19, and CD16/CD56 to provide a comprehensive evaluation of immune function.
