Hi Beth, Long time ago I did the effort of collecting a number of normal lymph nodes and looking at lymphocyte subsets. I never published this but as a rule of thumb we consider a normal lymphocyte subset distribution within a lymph node to be T (50%) with large excess of CD4 (relative to CD8), B (50%) with kappa/lambda ratio = ratio in PB. Like you, I would be interested in some literature references as well.
