Detailed distribution of αβ T-cell and γδ T-cell compartments and differentiation phenotypes. Each line reflects frequencies of a single individual, color-coded. Red indicates high values, blue low. The first part of the heat map describes the CD4+ and CD8+ αβ T-cells (blue background) and their differentiation status displayed in columns and characterized by the expression of CD27 (purple), CD28 (turquoise), CD45RA (orange) and CD16 (green), whereas white indicates the absence of the individual markers. The second part of the heat map describes the abundance of the Vδ1+, Vδ2+ and Vδ1-Vδ2- γδ T-cell compartments and their differentiations signatures. The black lines in the coding-table for the differentiation markers show the frequencies of the parental compartments. The heat map is horizontally divided into CMV-seronegatives (CMV-) in the upper and seropositives (CMV+) in the lower part. Both parts are further stratified for subject age
