[PAGID] CD56 assays

[Rathkopf Melinda M Maj 759 MDOS/MMIA]

We have noticed slightly low CD56 percentages on flow cytometry obtained in
immunodeficiency evaluations.  I have at least 5 patients for 3 centers with
low levels, but no clinical history to support NK cell deficiency and an
otherwise normal work-up.  The levels are just slightly below the 2 SD below
the norm.  Has any one else noted this trend?

 

Thanks,
