I asked the list for sources of pediatric normal ranges for CD4 counts using single-platform absolute method and Coulter reagents and EPICS XL. Most of the responses I received were referring to an older article from 1997 using BD reagents and instrument and not single-platform. Coulter responded that they are not aware of a study either. At the CDC meeting in Orlando it sounded like there are two studies in progress, one from the Pediatric ACTG group and one from Maurice O'Gorman's lab. It sounded like this data will be available in the next six months or so. Hopefully these groups will set me straight if I am giving out false information. Thank you to all who responded.
