CD95 Lymphocytes – METABOLIC EVALUATION

Collection Instr. …………: Fasting not required.

Technical Information: The CD95 lymphocyte count is applied for evaluation of cellular wasting, since this lymphocyte is considered a marker of apoptosis (programmed cell destruction, a type of “cellular self-destruction” that occurs in an orderly fashion), a physiological and organic defense mechanism. However, we are born with a limited amount of repair per tissue, that is, we have a limited number of apoptoses. Therefore, the durability of this mechanism is a valuable resource.
