What is it indicated for?

ImmuKnow®-the CyleX®TMlmmune Cell Function Assay measures the concentration of ATP from circulating CD4 cells following in vitro stimulation with phytohemagglutinin (PHA) as an indicator of immune cell function. This measurement is made on heparin anti-coagulated whole blood using a luminometer and luciferin/luciferase. The assay is used for the detection of cell mediated immune response in populations undergoing immunosuppressive therapy for organ transplant.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
