A schematic drawing is shown wherein the location of a myelin-specific epitope, ADARM, is illustrated by performing a pictorially functional readjustment of Figure 1(a), removing rows 1–38, 48-49, 50–116, 155–188, 198-199, and 209–277 to visualize the 3 hydrophilic surface platforms, susceptible to autoantibody binding. The individual platforms encompass amino acids number 39−49, 189–197, and 200–208. Two intracellular, hydrophilic platforms encompass amino acids number, 117–141 and 145–154. The unique, corresponding amino acid hydrophilic indices, −0.5, 3, −0.5, 3, and −1.3 depicted in column 6.
