Test Details
Methodology
A panel of sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes (SSOP) on fluorescently labeled microspheres (beads) with probes that target specific alleles
Result Turnaround Time
3 - 9 days
Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.
Use
The function of natural killer cells in the immune response is regulated by killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR). These receptors interact with class I HLA antigens on the cell surface to prevent or activate killing of the target cell. KIR genotyping may be useful in some stem cell transplants because KIR matching or mismatching can mediate a graft-versus-leukemia effect when the cancer cells are underexpressing HLA class I antigens.
Special Instructions
If you have questions or for assistance in selecting the proper KIR test for the patient, please call HLA customer serivce at 800-533-1037 or email HLACS@LabCorp.com.
