81862-5
LaboratoryKaryotype in Blood or Tissue --post mitogen stimulation
Definition
Karyotype analysis of cells cultured in a medium containing a mitogen, such as phytohemagglutinin, to stimulate lymphocyte proliferation and optimize chromosome band resolution. Stimulation is used when looking for congenital abnormalities. In contrast, for patients with a suspected malignancy, the cells are allowed to divide naturally without stimulation and can be cultured and analyzed in a shorter time period.
