Research Interests
The clinical/diagnostic immunology reference laboratory provides a variety of assays that can be used to assess the immune status of individuals seen at this institution, as well as for facilities outside of National Jewish Health including large national reference laboratories, physician offices, biotechnology companies, and government facilities. We provide a comprehensive panel of assays to examine the four major components of the host defense system: antibody, complement, neutrophils and lymphocytes.
