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:

Hulstaert, F.  et al,  Age-related changes in human blood lymphocyte
subpopulations, Clin. Immunol. and Immunopath. 70: 152-158, 1994

lymphocyte subpopulations, Immunology Today, 13: 215-218, 1992

Hope this helps.
