The following markers were measured: lymphocytes, T cells, B cells, NK cells, CD4<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>T cells, and CD8<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>T cells. A more in depth comparison was also made between Akaki and Wonji subjects. For this purpose, various differentiation and activation marker (CD45RA, CD27, HLA-DR, and CD38) expressions on CD4<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>and CD8<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>T cells were studied in 60 male, human immunodeficiency virus-negative subjects (30 from each site). Data were also compared with Dutch blood donor control values. The results confirmed that Ethiopians have significantly decreased CD4<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>T-cell counts and highly activated immune status, independent of the geographic locale studied. They also showed that male subjects from Akaki have significantly higher CD8<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>T-cell counts, resulting in a proportional increase in each of the CD8<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>T-cell compartments studied: na\u0131\u0308ve (CD45RA<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>CD27<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>), memory (CD45RA<jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>CD27<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>), cytotoxic effector (CD45RA<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>CD27<jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>), memory\/effector (CD45RA<jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>CD27<jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>), activated (HLA-DR<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>CD38<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>), and resting (HLA-DR<jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>CD38<jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>). No expansion of a specific functional subset was observed. Endemic infection or higher immune activation is thus not a likely cause of the higher CD8 counts in the Akaki subjects. The data confirm and extend earlier observations and suggest that, although most lymphocyte subsets are comparable between the two geographical locales, there are also differences. Thus, care should be taken in extrapolating immunological reference values from one population group to another.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/cdli.8.6.1171-1176.2001","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,27]],"date-time":"2002-07-27T09:58:35Z","timestamp":1027763915000},"page":"1171-1176","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["Distribution of Lymphocyte Subsets in Healthy Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Negative Adult Ethiopians from Two Geographic Locales"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Afework","family":"Kassu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--label omitted: 1-->Ethiopian Health and Nutrition Research Institute-Ethiopian Netherlands AIDS Research Project (EHNRI-ENARP),1 and"},{"name":"<!--label omitted: 3-->Department of Biology, Addis Ababa University,3 Addis Ababa, and"},{"name":"<!--label omitted: 2-->Department of Microbiology and Parasitology, Gondar College of Medical Sciences, Gondar,2 Ethiopia, and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aster","family":"Tsegaye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--label omitted: 1-->Ethiopian Health and Nutrition Research Institute-Ethiopian Netherlands AIDS Research Project (EHNRI-ENARP),1 and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Beyene","family":"Petros","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--label omitted: 3-->Department of Biology, Addis Ababa University,3 Addis Ababa, and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dawit","family":"Wolday","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--label omitted: 1-->Ethiopian Health and Nutrition Research Institute-Ethiopian Netherlands AIDS Research Project (EHNRI-ENARP),1 and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ermias","family":"Hailu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--label omitted: 1-->Ethiopian Health and Nutrition Research Institute-Ethiopian Netherlands AIDS Research Project (EHNRI-ENARP),1 and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tesfaye","family":"Tilahun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--label omitted: 1-->Ethiopian Health and Nutrition Research Institute-Ethiopian Netherlands AIDS Research Project (EHNRI-ENARP),1 and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Binyam","family":"Hailu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--label omitted: 1-->Ethiopian Health and Nutrition Research Institute-Ethiopian Netherlands AIDS Research Project (EHNRI-ENARP),1 and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marijke T.
