75023-2
LaboratoryCD63 (Activated) Basophils/Basophils in Blood by Flow cytometry (FC)
Definition
The percentage of basophiles activated after in vitro stimulation by allergens and expressing the CD63 marker can be determined by flow cytometry. This allergy test method is a blood test for identification of the allergen (e.g. bee venom, drugs, etc.) responsible for the hypersensitivity reaction. It is not the same as the common scratch test.
