LOINC long common name : CD3-CD16 CD56 HLA-DR (activated Natural Killer) cells/Cells.CD3-CD16 CD56 in Blood
by Flow cytometry (FC);
LOINC short name : NK activated/NK NFr Bld FC;
LOINC description : The % activated natural killer (NK) cells can be determined by comparing the number
of activated NK cells (CD3-CD16 CD56 HLA-DR ) out of 100 NK cells (CD3-CD16 CD56 ).
The submitter's lab uses HLA DR antibodies (HLA DR ) for late activation of NK cells
within a subpopulation of NK cells that lack CD3 expression (CD3-) and express CD16
and CD56 (CD16 , CD56 ).;
