Interleukin-2 (IL-2) (Interleukin-2, Serum)
The test is aimed at assessment of T-lymphocyte activity. Used for cellular immunity study.
What the test evaluates:
- Concentration of interleukin-2 in blood serum
- Functional activity of T-cell immunity
Biomaterial: Venous blood
- Draw blood fasting
Medications:
Drugs affecting immunity (immunomodulators, antiviral agents) may affect results
Recommended for:
- Immunodeficiency conditions
- Chronic infections
- Immunological examination
- Patients with frequent infections
Results evaluated together with clinical data and other immunological markers.
Normal: IL-2 concentration within normal range; T-lymphocyte functional activity adequate
Deviations: reduced or elevated IL-2 level; may indicate cellular immunity disorder, chronic infection, or immunodeficiency
Physician consultation required for deviations.
