Background:
Accurate and reliable measures of CD4 T lymphocytes (CD4 T cells) are essential for the evaluation and management of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected persons. Transportation to a laboratory capable of these analyses in a timely fashion may be difficult to accomplish, especially in resource-poor settings. The Cyto-Chex® Blood Collection Tube (BCT) contains an anticoagulant and fixative to preserve blood samples prior to immunophenotyping by flow cytometry (Streck Laboratories, Omaha NE).
