  1. Percentage of naïve (CD45ROCD28+), central memory (CD45RO+CD28+), effector memory: (CD45RO+CD28), and TEMRA (CD45ROCD28) cells within CD3+CD4+ or CD3+CD8+ cells, respectively and of IgM+, IgD+, IgG+, memory IgG (CD27+IgG+, and exhausted (IgDCD27) B cells within CD20+ cells. Shown are mean values and standard deviation (SD) from 19 CMV-negative and 18 CMV-positive individuals. Differences between CMV-negative and CMV-positive groups were calculated by Mann-Whitney-U test. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01
