| Abstract | ||
| The Present study was aimed to estimate normal reference values of some humoral immune indices such as Immunoglubulins (IgG, IgA and IgM) and complement proteins (C3, C4) and cellular immune indices like the percentage and absolute number of T-cells of healthy people with the age (20-49) in the Basrah province center. A single radial Immunodiffussion method was applied to determine the concentration of IgG,IgA,IgM,C3 and C4,while resetting quantification was used to calculate the percentage and absolute number of T-lymphocytes. According to the results of single radial Immunodiffusion test, IgG, IgM and C3 means were significantly associated with sex of studied persons( P <0.05) and not significantly with age . The higher values for IgG and IgM means were observed in females compared to males. In contrast IgA and C4 means values were statistically different (p<0.05) according to age of persons but there was no effect for the sex on the IgA means. The results of E-rosette test, revealed that there was significant effect (P <0.05) for the sex and age on the percentage of T-lymphocytes .the statistical analysis to absolute number of T-lymphocytes revealed that there was significant(P <0.05) affected by the sex in case of females in contrast to males in all age groups. | ||
