Abstract

Strict precautions were taken in our methodology to exclude any monocytes from being included in the total T and B cell estimation. There is a progressive drop in the percentage of T and B cells with age, but no significant differences between the races nor between the sexes of the same age group. Aberrancies of T and B cell percentages were noted in most infections, malignancies and even malnutrition.
