Frequently Asked Questions
T & B Cell Flow Crossmatch
The test measures very low concenteration of preformed antibodies present in the patient serum to the donor lymphocytes
The test is done pretransplant to detect the antibodies in recipient serum against the donor
Flow Cytometry
A positive flowcross match suggests increased risk of allograft rejection. A negative cross match does not imply that the donor and the patient are related.
