Our workflow allows the efficient determination of events featuring HCMV infection such as CD4/CD8 ratio, CD8 inflation and differentiation, HCMV peptide-specific HLA-EUL40 and HLA-A2pp65CD8 T cells, and expansion of γδT and NK subsets including δ2−γT and memory-like NKG2C+CD57+ NK cells. Here, B3GAT1 is linked to cytomegalovirus infection.
