Lymphocyte subset reference ranges in adult Caucasians.

Journal article

We report here the distributions of lymphocyte populations bearing the following antigens: CD3 (T cells), CD19 (B cells), CD4 (T helper/inducer cells), CD8 (T suppressor/cytotoxic and some NK cells), and CD3-, CD16+, and/or CD56+ (NK cells). At four sites, analyses were performed on healthy, normal subjects between the ages of 18 and 70, using identical flow cytometry systems and techniques. Reference ranges (unadjusted for sex differences and age variation) are CD3 (61 to 85%), CD19 (7 to 23...
