Background: Enumeration of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cell subsets provides relevant information for diagnosis and monitoring of patients with cellular immunodeficiencies. As a result, an external quality assurance scheme was implemented in Belgium, The Netherlands, and Luxemburg in 1995. A workshop was held to train the participants in state-of-the art technology for assessment of absolute T-cell subset counts (i.e., a three or four-color, single-platform assay with lymphocyte gating based on CD45 and sideward light scatter) with the aim to achieve between-site coefficients of variation (CVs)
