IAC Fee Schedule

The IAC provides both standardized and customized multi-parameter flow cytometry, immunoassays and functional assays to evaluate the innate and adaptive immune status of study subjects in a CLIA-certified environment. Click on the links below for an overview of the services provided:

Flow Cytometry-Based Immune Assessment

Flow cytometry provides insights into immune cell composition, cellular functions and biomarker expression to understand disease mechanisms and responses to therapy. Our core is equipped with BD LSRFortessa Cell Analyzer, and FDA-approved FACSCanto II flow cytometers to perform flow cytometry analysis. Most services are available in a CLIA-certified environment and can be used for patients’ diagnosis. The IAC is also able to develop and perform custom immunophenotyping and functional assays based on the investigators’ needs.

  • Immunophenotyping (up to 18 colors)
  • Intracellular cytokine staining (ICS) of polyclonal and antigen-specific lymphocytes
  • Direct and indirect allo-recognition
  • Lymphocyte proliferation to mitogens and antigens
  • Natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity
  • Oxidative burst
  • Custom immunophenotyping and functional assays
  • Assisted flow cytometry acquisition
