After chemotherapy CD4+ T cells comprise fewer naïve cells and more memory cells, a change that does not show a trend towards normalising even 9 months after chemotherapy. CD4+ T cell subtypes were quantified by multi-parameter flow cytometry and their numbers are presented as the proportion of the total CD4+ T cell pool. Data are shown for samples taken pre-chemotherapy (pre) and 3, 6, and 9 months (3m, 6m, 9m) after the end of chemotherapy. Boxes represent 50 % of the data, with medians (lines), interquartile ranges (whiskers) and individual outliers (circles). * p < 0.001
