Doctor's Notes
Reviewed by Dr SHAILAJA RAGHUNATH MURDESHWAR — MBBS, MD (General Medicine) · Reg. No. 8052
"The CD2 marker provides valuable information about T-cell and NK-cell lineages in suspected hematological malignancies. However, CD2 results must always be interpreted as part of a broader immunophenotyping panel and clinical context."

Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Clotted sample
- Hemolyzed sample
- Insufficient volume
- Sample refrigerated or frozen
- Unlabeled or mislabeled sample
- Delayed transport beyond stability
Understanding Your Results
Consult a hematologist or oncologist if the test shows abnormal immunophenotyping results, or if symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, fever, night sweats, or enlarged lymph nodes persist.
Limitations
- ⚠CD2 alone is not sufficient for complete diagnosis; a full immunophenotyping panel is required
- ⚠Results should be correlated with clinical findings and other laboratory tests
- ⚠Flow cytometry interpretation depends on gating strategy and laboratory expertise
Risks & Considerations
- ●Mild pain or bruising at the venipuncture site
- ●Slight risk of infection or bleeding with bone marrow sampling
- ●Formation of hematoma at collection site
Interfering Factors
- ●Recent immunotherapy or immunosuppressive therapy
- ●Clotted or hemolyzed sample
- ●Delayed sample transport
- ●Refrigeration or freezing of sample
- ●Insufficient sample volume
