GlossaryLymphocyte Transformation Test (LTT)

laboratory test measuring lymphocyte response to antigens or mitogens

The Lymphocyte Transformation Test (LTT) is a laboratory test used to assess the function of lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response. By exposing lymphocytes to specific antigens or mitogens and measuring their proliferation, the test helps evaluate immune system activity and can be used to diagnose conditions like allergies, infections, or immune deficiencies.
