β¦ Synopsis
A study to determine reference intervals in normal Asian and non-Asian populations for CD3 (T cells), CD4 (T helperlinducer cells), CD8 (T suppressor/cytotoxic cells), and for the CD4/CD8 ratio and absolute CD4 lymphocyte count was performed. Coulter Clone/Cytostat reagents were used. The samples were lysed using the Coulter Q-Prep and analyzed on the Coulter Profile II flow cytometer. The Asian population appeared to have a lower mean percentage of CD3 and CD4 cells, a lower CD4/CD8 ratio, and lower absolute CD4 lymphocytes. These findings indicate that race should be a consideration in determining reference intervals for immunophenotyping for CD3, CD4, and CD8. o 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

The pan-NK cell marker NK1.1, present in some mouse strains, is also found on a subset of TCRalphabeta+ lymphocytes termed NKT cells. These cells are primarily CD4+ or CD4-CD8- (double negative, DN), and both NKT subpopulations contain cells reactive with the MHC class I-like molecule CD1d. Murine N
Background: Until recently, there were no CD3 antibodies that crossreacted with rhesus macaque T cells. Consequently, studies relying on CD8 counts or CD4/CD8 ratios enumerated this subpopulation on the basis of CD8Ο© or CD8brightΟ© staining. We used a rhesus-specific, anti-CD3 antibody to better defi
