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).
