• Order vs observation: Order
• Panel type: Panel
• Method: Low resolution

What it does not mean

• The code identifies the observation or test, not the actual result.

Key facts

• HLA-A and B and C (class I) typing panel - Blood or Tissue by Low resolution
• HLA-A & B & C (class I) typing panel
• This assay is intended to provide low resolution molecular typing for HLA class I (A,B,C) for transplant candidates or potential donors or individuals refractory to platelet transfusions. Low resolution defines typing at the first field representing the allele group or antigen equivalent.
