The current guidelines for CD4 enumeration as published by the CDC are:

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (1994) 1994 revised guidelines
for the performance of CD4+ T-cell determinations in persons with human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. MMWR 43(RR-3):1-21, March 4, 1994.

We don't have a procedure that describes the use of this panel per se, but do
have multiple procedures concerning two- and three-color immunophenotyping in
general. I'd be happy to share these with you if you are interested.
