Methods CD4 and CD8 value were measured through flow cytometry in adult blood specimens from various age and gender group. Results There were no difference in CD4 value among different sex and age groups, with the mean value being 726.99?255.21. However, CD8 and CD4/CD8 ratio vary significantly among different groups. The mean value of CD8 was 539.58?134.07, while the mean value of CD4/CD8 1.49?0.57. Conclusions The mean value of CD4 in Shanghai adults is about 100/mm 3 lower than that in American.
