Description

Anti–paternal antibody detection in maternal serum.  Method :  Following isolation and extensive washing of paternal peripheral blood mononuclear cells, incubation with maternal blood serum is performed (crossmatch). In parallel, incubation with the paternal  serum  is performed as  negative  control.  The  cells  are then  washed  and  incubated  with  the following combinations of monoclonal antibodies (triple direct immunofluorescence – FITC/PE/ECD):  CD3 – CD19 – IgM and CD3 – CD19 – IgG followed by flow cytometry analysis.

SPECIMEN TYPE: 

SAMPLE COLLECTION: For collection of blood samples, you should arrange for a healthcare professional to draw the bloods for you according to the instructions, in a licensed medical facility.

SAMPLE STORAGE & SHIPPING: Samples should be stored and shipped at ambient temperature and away from light. Next day delivery (24-36 hours) is required. Delivery of samples should be planned between Monday and Thursday but not Friday or during the Weekend. Sample collection and pick-up by courier should take place on the same day.

RESULT TURNAROUND TIME: Depending on how busy the lab is, we estimate you will get your results within 10 business days from the day your sample reach us *.

* Please be advised that the turnaround time for specialized diagnostic tests is indicative and not guaranteed and may be extended due to a variety of factors, including but not limited to need for additional clinical evaluation of results, repeat of analysis in cases of unclear or ambiguous results and need for resampling in case of inadequate specimen quality. Therefore, the results will be available in the indicated timeframe as long as there are no additional overheads, as stated above, that may extend turnaround time.
