Concentrations of white blood cells (WBC) and lymphocyte subsets in prenatal stress (PS) and comparison group (CG) subjects
WBC | Lymph | CD3+ | CD4+ | CD8+ | CD19+ | CD16+/CD56+ | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Group | |||||||
PS | 7.54 ±. 25 | 1.44 ± .07 | 1.03 ± .06 | .46 ± .03 | .28 ± .02 | .16 ± .01 | .18 ± .01 |
CG | 7.26 ± .31 | 1.53 ± .10 | 1.11 ± .04 | .50 ± .04 | .32 ± .03 | .15 ± .02 | .20 ± .02 |
WBC = white blood cells (mio/ml); Lymph = lymphocytes, CD3+ = T cells (mio/ml); CD4+ = T-helper cells (mio/ml); CD8+ = T-cytotoxic cells (mio/ml); CD19+ = B cells (mio/ml); CD16+/CD56+ = NK cells (mio/ml). Values are total numbers of cells ± SEM. None of the group comparisons reached statistical significance (p>.30).
