常見問題

Q1. Can the Dendritic Cell Test reflect immune function?
Yes. Dendritic cells serve as a critical bridge between innate and adaptive immunity, and their quantity and function can reflect immune activity and antigen presentation capacity.
Q2. Why is it important to analyze mDC1, mDC2, and pDC subsets?
Different dendritic cell subsets perform distinct roles in immune regulation, including antigen recognition, anti-tumor immunity, antiviral responses, and immune modulation.
Q3. What do abnormal test results indicate?
Abnormal dendritic cell counts or functions may be associated with infections, chronic inflammation, tumor immune evasion, autoimmune diseases, or immune aging. Clinical evaluation is recommended for interpretation.
Q4. Can medications affect the test results?
Yes. Certain medications, including immunosuppressants, corticosteroids, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy treatments, may influence the results. Please inform your physician about any current medications before testing.
Q5. Is regular follow-up testing recommended?
Follow-up testing every 3–6 months is recommended to monitor immune status, treatment response, and disease progression.
Q6. Who should consider this test?
This test is recommended for cancer patients, individuals with chronic infections, patients receiving vaccines or immunotherapy, and anyone interested in understanding their immune health and disease risk.
