Routine laboratory
Rheumatological, immunological, infectiological and allergological autoimmune diagnostics
The rheumatological, immunological, infectiological and allergological routine laboratory of the Department of Medicine 3 has been in existence for more than 40 years and offers a broad spectrum of rheumatological and allergological autoimmune diagnostics.
Focus areas are:
- Antibody diagnostics
- Determination of rheumatoid factors
- Anti-CCP antibodies
- Anti-nuclear antibodies
- Anti-phospholipid antibodies
- Cytokine determinations
- Tumor necrosis factor
- Interleukin-1 / Interleukin-6
- Inflammation parameters
- C-reactive protein
- Serum amyloid A
- Calprotectin
- B2-Microglobulin
- Clarification of immunodeficiencies
- Lymphocyte subpopulations
- Lymphocytes functional analysis
For a more detailed overview of the range of autoimmune and bone metabolism diagnostics, please refer to our request form. The correct interpretation of the immunological laboratory findings is only possible in conjunction with the clinical symptoms. Our medical staff is available for consultation and discussion of the findings.

To clarify immunodeficiencies, we perform various cellular immunological tests:
Analysis of lymphocyte subpopulations in peripheral blood:
- Routine panel (CD3, CD4, CD8, B cells, NK cells)
- on request further markers like gamma-delta T cells or regulatory T cells
Analysis of lymphocyte subpopulations in bronchial lavage:
- Routine panel (CD3, CD4, CD8)
- on request further markers like CD1 and gamma-delta T cells
Lymphocyte functional analysis: lymphocyte proliferation, cytokine production and NK activity.
The routine laboratory offers the following allergological diagnostics:
- Early bloomers, grasses, cereals and herbs pollen and houseplants
- Textiles, latex proteins, animal epithelia and animal serum proteins
- Molds, bacteria, dust mites and storage mites
- Insect proteins including venom proteins
- Drugs and occupation-specific allergens
- a variety of food allergens
