A normal, adult range for CD4 counts is 500-2000 cells per ul and 33-55% in my
lab. Your results may differ slightly and it is important to establish your own
ranges. However, I also want to know what ranges other labs have established.
Some references follow:

subpopulations, Clin. Immunol. and Immunopath. 70: 152-158, 1994

Hope this helps.
