Distribution of B cells and subsets of T cells in controls and B-CLL patients of different Rai stages. Mean ± SD of relative (%) and absolute (no. of cells/μL) numbers are presented. Numbers of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ cells were detected within the CD3⁺ gate. The relative number of CD3⁺ T cells was increased due to elevated numbers of CD8⁺ T cells in all Rai stages of B-CLL

Significantly different from controls, P < .001

†

Significantly different from controls, P < .01

‡

Significantly different from controls, P < .05
