Frequently Asked Questions
Is fasting required for CD11C flow cytometry?
No, fasting is not required. The test can be performed at any time during laboratory working hours.
What sample is collected for this test?
A venous blood sample in an EDTA (lavender-top) tube is used for flow cytometric analysis of CD11C expression.
How does flow cytometry detect CD11C?
Fluorescently labeled monoclonal antibodies bind to CD11C antigens on cell surfaces, allowing quantification via flow cytometry.
What clinical conditions show abnormal CD11C expression?
Strong CD11C expression is characteristic of hairy cell leukemia and helps differentiate it from other B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
Can medications affect CD11C test results?
Immunosuppressive drugs or recent blood transfusions may alter lymphocyte populations; inform your physician about all current medications.
What is the typical turnaround time for results?
Flow cytometry results are usually available within 24-48 hours after sample receipt at the laboratory.
