Blood lymphocyte subsets in 54 adults with selective subnormal IgG1.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Blood levels of lymphocyte subsets were measured using flow cytometry. Reference ranges (mean ± 2 SD) are as follows: CD19+ 12–645 cells/L; CD3+/CD4+ 359–1,519 cells/L; CD3+/CD8+ 109–897 cells/L; and CD56+/CD16+ 24–406 cells/L. Levels are expressed as median (range). Subnormal levels were defined as those below the corresponding lower reference limits. Elevated levels were defined as those greater than the upper reference limits. Comparisons were made with Mann-Whitney test, Pearson’s test, or Fisher’s exact test, as appropriate. 2These are nominal values of . Bonferroni correction for 12 comparisons yielded a revised for significance of <0.0042. |
