CD19 (Flowcytometry)

CD 19 (Flow cytometry) test aids in the detection of CD19 antigen present on the surface of B-cells, a type of white blood cells that are responsible for fighting against infections. In this test, a technique called flow cytometry is used which helps in the identification of B-cells lymphoma, a type of blood cancer. This test is recommended in case of symptoms such as sudden weight loss, pale skin, bleeding, fever, night sweats, and enlarged lymph nodes, spleen, liver, kidneys, or testicles. Flow cytometry also helps in monitoring the recurrence of the disease, assessing the extent of the cancer, and checking the efficacy of an ongoing treatment. This test is mainly used as a follow-up examination in case of an abnormal CBC test or if cancer is suspected.
