*Important Information on Lab Test Processing Times: Ulta Lab Tests is committed to informing you about the processing times for your lab tests processed through a national lab. Please note that the estimated processing time for each test, indicated in business days, is based on data from the past 30 days across the 13 laboratories for each test. These estimates are intended to serve as a guide and are not guarantees. Factors such as laboratory workload, weather conditions, holidays, and the need for additional testing or maintenance can influence actual processing times. We aim to offer estimates to help you plan accordingly. Please understand that these times may vary, and processing times are not guaranteed. Thank you for choosing Ulta Lab Tests for your laboratory needs.

The Immunity Panel panel contains 3 tests with 5 biomarkers .

Brief Description: The Immunity Panel is a set of laboratory tests designed to assess an individual's immunity status against specific infectious diseases. By measuring the presence and levels of specific antibodies in the blood, the panel provides valuable insights into whether an individual has been previously exposed to these pathogens or has been vaccinated against them, thus offering protection.

Please Note: Varicella-Zoster Virus Antibody IgG #4439 reliably measures immunity due to previous infection but may not be sensitive enough to detect antibodies induced by vaccination. Thus, a negative result in a vaccinated individual does not necessarily indicate susceptibility to VZV infection. A more sensitive test for vaccination-induced immunity is Varicella Zoster Virus Antibody Immunity Screen, ACIF #14505.

When and Why the Immunity Panel May Be Ordered

The Immunity Panel may be ordered:

Pre-Employment or School Entry: Many healthcare settings, educational institutions, and other environments where the risk of disease transmission is higher require proof of immunity against certain diseases.
After Vaccination: To confirm that the vaccine has elicited a sufficient immune response, especially in individuals with known immune system issues.
Post-Infection: After a suspected or confirmed infection, to check if it has resulted in the development of immunity.
Pre-Travel: Before traveling to areas where these diseases are more prevalent, to ensure adequate protection.
Immune Status Check: In individuals with unknown vaccination histories or those who are unsure of their past disease exposures.

What the Immunity Panel Checks For

Hepatitis B Surface Antibody Quantitative: Measures the amount of antibody against the hepatitis B virus, indicating immunity either from past infection or vaccination.
Measles IgG Antibody: Determines immunity to measles, either from past infection or vaccination.
Mumps Virus IgG Antibody: Assesses immunity to mumps, resulting from past infection or vaccination.
Rubella IgG Antibody: Indicates immunity to rubella, often a result of either past infection or receiving the MMR vaccine.
Varicella-Zoster Virus IgG Antibody: Confirms immunity to chickenpox (and indirectly shingles), arising from infection, or vaccination in the case of positive results.

Conditions or Diseases the Immunity Panel Can Check For

Hepatitis B: A viral infection that affects the liver and can lead to chronic disease and liver cancer. Immunity suggests protection against this virus.
Measles: A highly contagious viral disease with symptoms like rash and fever. Immunity provides protection against this disease.
Mumps: Another contagious virus causing swelling of salivary glands. Immunity indicates protection.
Rubella (German Measles): A viral disease that can cause birth defects if a pregnant woman contracts it. Immunity offers protection against these complications.
Varicella-Zoster (Chickenpox): A contagious virus causing an itchy rash and flu-like symptoms. Immunity signifies protection against this infection and a decreased risk of shingles later in life.

In conclusion, the Immunity Panel offers critical information regarding an individual's protection against specific infectious diseases. Whether ensuring vaccine efficacy, confirming post-infection immunity, or meeting institutional or travel requirements, understanding one's immunity status is pivotal in preventing disease spread and safeguarding public health.
