Lymphocyte subsets in the blood: a diagnostic window on the lymphoid system?

Abstract

The assessment of peripheral blood lymphocyte numbers and ratios has been performed in almost every conceivable disease state, but do these values give any useful information about immune status? Jürgen Westermann and Reinhard Pabst try to answer this question and to put peripheral blood population assessments into the whole-body context.

      We standardized the extraction of blood samples to within 2 h of capture. It is possible that our immunity measures include the effect of short term changes associated with the acute stress response to trapping [39,46,99]. However, stressful events may be immunostimulating or immunosuppressive, and different immunocompetence measures may be affected differently by acute stressors [9,46,62,84].
