The CMV inSIGHT™ T Cell Immunity Panel measures the strength of T cell responses to Cytomegalovirus (CMV) specific antigens. It evaluates and reports the activity of CD4 and CD8 T cell responses independently.  Effective T cell immunity against CMV is a factor in controlling CMV viral latency.  CMV can affect patients with weakened immune systems and is a common risk factor in patients following solid organ or hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
