| Interpretive Data: |
Phytohemagglutinin, concanavalin A, pokeweed mitogen, Candida antigen, and tetanus antigen are tested independently in lymphocyte culture. Lymphocyte proliferation in response to these mitogens and antigens is determined by 3H-thymidine incorporation.
Results are reported as the counts per minute (CPM) mitogen or antigen stimulated versus a control culture and a stimulation index (SI) which represents the ratio of CPM of the stimulated lymphocytes to the mean CPM of the unstimulated control.
Please refer to Statement B in the Compliance Statements section in the front of the Laboratory Test Directory.
