CD117 (Myeloid Marker), EDTA Blood

CD11b (Myeloid Marker), EDTA Blood

Overview

The CD11b (Myeloid Marker) test is used to detect the presence and expression of the CD11b antigen on white blood cells, especially myeloid cells. CD11b is an important surface marker involved in immune response, cell adhesion, and inflammation.

Why This Test is Done

• Helps in the evaluation of myeloid leukemias
• Assists in diagnosing immune system disorders
• Used in flow cytometry immunophenotyping
• Monitors abnormal white blood cell populations
• Supports assessment of inflammatory and infectious conditions

Sample Required

• Sample Type: EDTA Blood
• Method: Flow Cytometry

Preparation

• No special preparation or fasting is usually required.

Interpretation

• Normal Expression: Indicates healthy myeloid cell activity
• Abnormal/Reduced Expression: May be associated with certain hematological disorders or immune dysfunctions
• Results should always be interpreted along with clinical findings and other laboratory tests.

Symptoms That May Require This Test

• Persistent fever or infections
• Unexplained fatigue
• Abnormal blood counts
• Suspected leukemia or bone marrow disorders
• Immune deficiency evaluation

Benefits

• Accurate immune cell analysis
• Helps in early diagnosis of blood disorders
• Useful in disease monitoring and treatment planning
