T-cells & Understanding various ways to assess them ?

[CTD]

*T Cell count = standard count of T cells.

*T Cell relative ?

*T Cell function ?

*T Cell activation status or 'activated T Cells' ?

*T Cell clonal population ?

*T Cell cytotoxic?

Hi. Can anyone please explain to us on the forum the above categories in T cell tests, in a basic manner we might understand? :tongue:

I am thinking a T cell count, e.g. CD4 for HIV is the usual kind of test we might get from a doctor to asses immune status but the other tests I have not heard of specifically but have seen in 'CFS' research over the years.

I don't think I've missed many, please add them if I have though.

Thank you.
