LOINC display name : Lymphocyte proliferation.Interleukin 2.maximum/CD3 FC (Bld);
LOINC long common name : Lymphocyte proliferation.Interleukin 2.maximum/CD3 in Blood by Flow cytometry (FC);
LOINC short name : LPT IL-2 max/CD3 NFr Bld FC;
LOINC description : The percent of proliferating lymphocytes stimulated by exogenous interleukin-2 (IL-2)
out of the total CD3 T-cells. The maximum (highest proliferating out of 3 titrations)
response to IL-2 is reported. This is a second-level test for assessing lymphocyte
(T-cell) function after lymphocyte proliferation to phytohemagglutinin has been assessed.
The test is used to evaluate patients with impairment in cellular immunity due to
primary or secondary immunodeficiencies and in patients receiving immunosuppressive
or immunomodulatory therapy.;
