No relevant differences were detected in the counts of heterophils and B cells, whereas TCR Cγ −/− chickens showed a trend towards lower blood T cell numbers ( Supplementary Figure S5 ). 3.4 Absolute numbers of γδ T cell subsets increased in whole blood, spleen and cecum after Salmonella infection of wild-type chickens Determination of absolute numbers of γδ T cell subsets (TCR1 + ) in whole blood, spleen and cecum revealed an increase of CD8αα +hi γδ T cells across all compartments ( Figure 3A ).
