CD103 Immunophenotyping by Flow Cytometry Test
Understanding CD103 Immunophenotyping
CD103 Immunophenotyping by Flow Cytometry is a sophisticated diagnostic technique that plays a vital role in modern medical diagnostics, particularly in the field of oncology and immunology. This advanced test specifically detects and analyzes cells expressing the CD103 surface marker, which is integrin alpha E beta 7. This marker is primarily found on intraepithelial lymphocytes and certain T-cell subsets, making it crucial for identifying specific immune cell populations involved in various disease processes.
What Does the CD103 Test Measure?
The CD103 Immunophenotyping test precisely measures and characterizes:
- Presence and percentage of CD103-positive cells in blood or bone marrow samples
- Specific T-cell subsets expressing the CD103 marker
- Distribution patterns of CD103+ lymphocytes
- Cellular characteristics and surface markers associated with CD103 expression
- Abnormal cell populations that may indicate malignancy or autoimmune conditions
Who Should Consider CD103 Testing?
This specialized test is recommended for patients experiencing:
- Unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms suggesting celiac disease or inflammatory bowel disease
- Suspected T-cell lymphomas, particularly enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma
- Autoimmune disorders with suspected lymphocyte involvement
- Monitoring treatment response in hematological malignancies
- Evaluation of refractory celiac disease
- Suspected immune system disorders affecting mucosal surfaces
Clinical Benefits of CD103 Testing
Undergoing CD103 Immunophenotyping provides numerous advantages:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Enables precise identification of specific lymphocyte populations
- Early Detection: Helps identify malignant transformations in early stages
- Treatment Guidance: Provides critical information for targeted therapy selection
- Disease Monitoring: Allows tracking of disease progression and treatment response
- Comprehensive Analysis: Offers detailed cellular characterization beyond standard testing
