Product Details
QuantiFERON Monitor (QFM) test is an innovative in vitro diagnostic test that detects interferon γ (IFNγ) following incubation of heparinized whole blood with innate and adaptive immune response stimulants.
Performance
Use QFM to assess cell-mediated immune response in the immunosuppressed solid organ transplant population.
Principle
After incubation of heparinized whole blood with innate and adaptive immune response stimulants (Toll Like Receptor and T cell receptor agonists, respectively) QFM test detects cell-mediated immune function through the measurement of interferon gamma (IFNγ) in plasma by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Procedure
The QFM test is performed in stages:
- Collect whole blood into the QFM Blood Collection Tube.
- Add a QFM LyoSphere to the QFM Blood Collection Tube, and incubate the tube.
- After incubation, centrifuge the tube to isolate plasma.
- Measure IFNγ in the extracted plasma by ELISA and compare the responses to a range of expected values to characterize immune response of the subject.
Applications
QuantiFERON Monitor test may be used to detect cell-mediated immune response in immunosuppressed patients who have undergone solid organ transplantation. QFM test is complementary to QuantiFERON-CMV test in this population for posttransplant patient management.
