A MANUAL METHOD OF COUNTING CD4 AND CD8 CELLS PRESENT IN WHOLE BLOOD.

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of preparation of antibody coated magnetic beads used for the detection of CD4 /CD8 cell counts in HIV patients" blood. More specifically, it is a method of preparation of assay reagent for the detection of CD4 and CD8 cell counts in whole blood of an HIV patient. The assay reagent with magnetic beads are used for the detection of CD4/ CD8 count in HIV patients. The cells are counted by using automated cell counter which is easily available in small labs by seeing the CD4/CD8 cell counts variation in patient"s blood sample.
