Abstract
Circadian variations have been observed in peripheral blood lymphocyte counts in normal subjects; they usually reflect variations in absolute CD4-cell count. For this population, nadir occurs around 0800 h (basal value) and the peak value occurs at midnight (1.6 times the 0800-h value). This cycle is thought to be of major importance in the efficacy of the immune response because it expresses the migration of lymphocytes into lymphoid organs.
