Reference Interval:

| Interpretive Data: |
With a 5 mg/d dosage of OKT3 for immunosuppression, plasma levels usually rise within two to three days to a steady state between
500-1500 ng/mL. Values are often lower during the first few days of therapy (Transplantation 42:507, 1986). Early, abnormal consumption of OKT3 by host
anti-OKT3 antibodies can be detected by a drop in plasma OKT3 (Transplantation 47:533, 1989).
Please refer to Statement B in the Compliance Statements section in the front of the Laboratory Test Directory.
