LOINC display name : Cytomegalovirus T-cell immunodeficiency panel FC (Bld);
LOINC long common name : Cytomegalovirus T-cell immunodeficiency panel - Blood by Flow cytometry (FC);
LOINC short name : CMV T-cell panel Bld FC;
LOINC description : This panel contains results for Cytomegalovirus (CMV) CD8 T-Cell immune competence
by Flow Cytometry. Patients tested are cytomegalovirus (CMV)-seropositive and may
have 1 or more of the 5 major histocompatibility complex (MHC) alleles, including
HLA A1, A2, B7, B8, or B35. Testing is performed to monitor CMV-specific CD8 T-cell
responses in patients at higher risk of CMV disease. Testing may be performed on allo-hematopoietic
stem cell or solid organ transplant patients who are at risk for developing late CMV
disease or having CMV reactivation post transplant or after the cessation of antiviral
prophylaxis. For transplant recipients and patients with autoimmune disorders receiving
therapy with immunosuppressant agents, testing is useful for determining over immunosuppression
within the CD8 T cell pathway. This panel was created for, but not limited in use
to, Mayo's CMV CD8 T-Cell Immune Competence Quantitative Assessment by Flow Cytometry.[https://www.mayocliniclabs.com/test-catalog/Overview/88826];
