  1. sjTREC/100 CD4+ and CD8+ T cells of positively selected PBMCs are shown for the whole population. The Man Whitney U test was used with geometric means (GM) compared for the two seasons of birth. The number of samples (n), 95% CI and p values are also shown. sjTREC data were considered unreliable for the CD4+ and CD8+ samples of 4/60 and 1/60 subjects respectively, therefore these were rejected.
