I can not suppress a need to throw in my two cents. I believe citing normal ranges for lymph nodes to be potentially misleading, as the range of subset distribution varies significantly based upon anatomic site (eg. axillary and inquinal nodes vary from cervical nodes adn vary from mesenteric nodes as to the distribution of T cells, B cells, and "normal" state of activations of various subsets). Lymph nodes are not the relatively homogeneous sample as blood and bone marrow. Bruce H. Davis, MD Wm Beaumont Hosp. "Irene J.
