Immune Complex Panel : 0050667

Mnemonic: C1Q/RAJI

Methodology: Flow Cytometry/Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
Performed: Tue
Reported: 2-9 days
Specimen Required: Collect: One 10 mL plain red.

Storage/Transport Temperature: TWO 1.5 mL aliquots of serum, frozen. (Min: 0.5 mL per aliquot) Submit specimens in two ARUP Standard Transport Tubes.

Remarks: CRITICAL FROZEN. Let stand for two hours, then separate serum from cells within one hour. Freeze immediately into two aliquots. Separate specimens must be submitted when multiple tests are ordered.

Unacceptable Conditions: Nonfrozen specimens. Specimens subjected to repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Stability (collection to initiation of testing): Refer to individual components.
Reference Interval:
Available Separately Components Reference Interval
0050301C1Q Binding Assay Less than 4 µgE/mL is considered negative for circulating complement binding immune complexes.
0050302Raji Cell Immune Complex Assay By report

Interpretive Data: Many autoimmune disorders, chronic infections and malignancies are associated with circulating immune complexes. Quantitation of immune complexes assists in staging immunologic disorders.

Please refer to Statement A in the Compliance Statements section in the front of the Laboratory Test Directory.
Note: Immune complexes bind to Raji Cells via their complement receptors.  The immunoglobulin portion of the immune complex is then detected by flow cytometry with anti-human IgG-FITC.
CPT Code(s): 86332 Raji; 86332 C1Q
