Search Tips

Wildcards Symbol (*)

The wildcard symbol (*) can be used in place of letters or characters in query words to search for different permutations of a word.

*	Can be in any position in the term and matches any number of characters.
Examples:	hemo*	matches hemolytic, hemophilia and hemophilia
	*NA	matches DNA and RNA
	*tet**	matches text and test
	BCL*	matches bcl-1/JH and bcl-2/JH
	virus*	matches virus or viruses
	*glucan*	matches beta-1,3-d-Glucan

Boolean Parameters

Search terms can be a single word or several words. The search engine automatically inserts and between words if nothing else is specified, so the Boolean term and can be omitted in search terms. For example, searching for tissue assay is the same as searching for tissue AND assay.

Quotes can be used to search for phrases. For example:

"tissue assay "

Words must be present in the specified order with no intervening words

The following boolean connectors can be used: AND, OR, NOT Examples:

tissue AND assay	Both words must be present
tissue OR assay	Either word can be present
assay NOT tissue	Only assay can be present, tissue cannot appear on the page

Lymphocyte Mitogen Proliferation : 0096043

Time Sensitive

Mnemonic: LMP

Methodology:	Cell Culture
Performed:	Tue-Fri
Reported:	9-10 days
Specimen Required:	Patient Prep: Collect control specimen from a healthy individual unrelated to patient. Collect: Green (sodium heparin) (patient) AND green (sodium heparin) (control). Also acceptable: Yellow (ACD solution A) (patient) AND yellow (ACD solution A) (control). Patient and control specimens must be collected within 48 hours of test performance. Specimen Preparation: Transport 10 mL whole blood (patient) AND 10 mL whole blood (control) in original collection tubes. (Min: 7 mL (patient) AND 7 mL (control)) Do not refrigerate or freeze. LIVE LYMPHOCYTES REQUIRED. Infant Minimum: 3 mL (patient) AND 7 mL (control). Storage/Transport Temperature: CRITICAL ROOM TEMPERATURE. Remarks: Unacceptable Conditions: Refrigerated or frozen specimens. Specimens in transport longer than 48 hours. Stability (collection to initiation of testing): Ambient: 48 hours; Refrigerated: Unacceptable; Frozen: Unacceptable

Reference Interval: By report
Interpretive Data:	Lymphocyte proliferation in response to the nonspecific mitogens phytohemagglutinin (PHA), concanavalin A (Con A), and pokeweed are determined by ³H-thymidine incorporation. Results are reported as counts per minute (CPM) mitogen stimulated versus a control culture and a stimulation index (SI) which represents the ratio of CPM of the stimulated lymphocytes to the mean CPM of the unstimulated control. Refer to Statement B under Testing Information at http://www.aruplab.com.
Note:	Interpretation comparing the patient results to the client normal control and the laboratory control will be provided by the medical director.
CPT Code(s):	86353 x3 Lymphocyte transformation
