Ordering Recommendations

Useful for screening for common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) and hyper-IgM syndromes.

Assessing B-cell subset reconstitution after stem cell or bone marrow transplant.

Assessing response to B-cell-depleting immunotherapy.

Identifying defects in transmembrane activator and calcim modulator and cyclophilin ligand (CAML) interactor (TACI) and B-cell-activating factor receptor (BAFF-R) in patients presenting with clinical symptoms and with laboratory features consistent with CVID.
