| description | In the Quantiferon Gold test, the Mitogen-stimulated plasma sample serves as an IFN-gamma positive control for each specimen tested. A low response to Mitogen (<0.5 IU/mL) indicates an Indeterminate result when a blood sample also has a negative response to the TB antigens. This pattern may occur with insufficient lymphocytes, reduced lymphocyte activity due to prolonged specimen transport or improper specimen handling, including filling/mixing of blood tubes, or inability of the patient's lymphocytes to generate IFN-gamma. | ||||

| property | ACnc = Arbitrary Concentration | ||||
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | ||||
| system | Bld = Whole blood | ||||
| scale | Qn = Quantitative: The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256 | ||||
