| Test Performed at or Referral Lab | Lab Sendouts (ARUP) |
| Referral Lab number: | 96055 |
Interpretive
| Reference Range: | By report. |
| Use: | Candida and tetanus antigens are tested independently in lymphocyte culture. Lymphocyte proliferation in response to these antigens is determined by 3H-thymidine incorporation. Results are reported as the counts per minute (CPM) antigen stimulated versus a control culture and a stimulation index (SI) which represents the ratio of mean CPM of the stimulated lymphocytes to the mean CPM of the unstimulated control. |
