Indicators
A heterodimeric cytokine composed of interleukin-12 subunit beta and interleukin-23 subunit alpha. This complex binds to the interleukin-23 receptor complex, which activates the JAK-STAT signaling pathway and modulates the proliferation, differentiation and effector functions of T-lymphocytes, natural killer cells and some myeloid lineage cells.
Indicators
Interleukin-4 (153 aa, ~17 kDa) is encoded by the human IL4 gene. This protein is involved in the regulation of the expression of class II MHC molecules, Fc receptors and cell surface-bound immunoglobulins.
Indicators
Interleukin-6 (212 aa, ~24 kDa) is encoded by the human IL6 gene. This protein is involved in signaling affecting a wide variety of cell types including monocytes, lymphocytes, hepatocytes and nerve cells.
Indicators
Interleukin-8 (99 aa, ~11 kDa) is encoded by the human CXCL8 gene. This protein is involved in chemotaxis and neutrophil activation.
Tests
The determination of the ratio of the intermediate monocytes to a subpopulation of lymphocytes present in a sample. The measurement may be expressed as a ratio or percentage.

Tests
The determination of the intermediate natural killer cells to a sub-population of lymphocytes present in a sample. The measurement may be expressed as a ratio or percentage.
For professionals
Tests
A relative measurement (ratio or percentage) of the lymphocytes to enterocytes within the epithelium of a biological specimen.
For professionals
Tests
The determination of the ratio of a sub-population of invariant natural killer T-lymphocytes to a sub-population of invariant natural killer T-lymphocytes present in a sample. The measurement may be expressed as a ratio or percentage.
For professionals
Tests
The determination of the ratio of the invariant natural killer T-lymphocytes to total natural killer T-lymphocytes present in a sample. The measurement may be expressed as a ratio or percentage.
For professionals
Tests
The determination of the number of large lymphocytes present in a sample.

Tests
The determination of the ratio of leukemic B-Lymphocytes to total cells present in a sample. The measurement may be expressed as a ratio or percentage.

Indicators
White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each); those with characteristics of neither major class are called null cells.
