    What is CD 20, Flow Cytometry Test?

    The CD20 test evaluates the levels of a specific protein called CD20 found on B-cells, which are a critical component of the immune system. This protein plays a key role in B-cell development and function, helping the body respond to infections effectively.

    The test is widely used for identifying and tracking B-cell-related conditions, such as lymphoma. Changes in CD20 levels are often associated with different types of B-cell disorders. For instance, low CD20 levels might indicate reduced responsiveness to treatments like rituximab, which target this protein. Knowing these levels helps ensure that the most suitable treatment approach is considered.

    Using advanced flow cytometry, the CD20 test provides accurate information about the protein’s presence and activity in B-cells. This makes it a valuable tool for managing immune and lymphatic health.

    Residents of Noida can take the CD20 test at home, ensuring timely and reliable results delivered right to their preferred location.

    CD 20, Flow Cytometry Test Parameters

    The CD20 test measures one key parameter: the CD20 cell count, which is reported both as an absolute count and as a percentage of lymphocytes in the immune system.

    CD20 is a protein found predominantly on the surface of B-cells, an essential part of the immune system responsible for fighting infections. This protein appears early in B-cell development and is critical for their activation, growth, and eventual maturation. However, once B-cells transition into plasma cells at the end of their lifecycle, they lose the CD20 protein. This loss makes CD20 a significant marker for monitoring the various stages of B-cell development.

    While CD20 is mainly found on B-cells, a small percentage of T-cells also express it. Despite this, its primary role remains within B-cells. The level of CD20 expression differs across various B-cell cancers, providing crucial insights for tailoring treatment strategies. Beyond serving as a marker, CD20 also regulates B-cell functions by facilitating the entry of calcium into the cells. This calcium influx is essential for enabling B-cells to perform their role in fighting infections and supporting overall immune health.
