  1. Subject numbers indicate the order of pairs (C: control; P: patient) used in blinded experiments. “x” indicates vaccination using Pandemrix during the 2009 flu pandemic, y: year. “*” indicates seasonal trivalent inactivated influenza vaccination (TIV) prior to blood draw (BD), d: day. “# Wells” counts single CD4+ T cells sorted by the indicated tetramer for sequencing analysis. “# Cells” counts sequenced cells with fully identified TCRαβ gene information and productive CDR3 sequences. “# Clonotypes with isolates >1” counts expanded TCRαβ clonotypes. Isolates of an expanded clonotypes share identical α/β CDR3 sequences. Identical clonotypes identified by different tetramers (expanded cross-binding clonotypes) are aligned, but the alignment across subjects does not reflect related TCRs. Highly expanded clonotypes (≥5 total isolates per subject) are indicated in bold. Tetramer specificities are as follow, L: HCRT1–13, H1: HCRT56–69, H2: HCRT87–100, H25: HCRT25–37. Elucidation of functionality and the triggers for highly expanded cross-binding clonotypes found in controls (e.g., C3 and C4) are beyond the scope of this study
