Characterization of the Protective HIV-1 CTL Epitopes and the Corresponding HLA Class I Alleles: A Step towards Designing CTL Based HIV-1 Vaccine

Figure 4

Epitope clusters and hydrophobic pattern of five HIV proteins. The -axis represents the amino acid position. The primary -axis (left) shows the hydrophobicity scores whereas the secondary -axis (right) represents the epitope hit/count values. The blue bars indicate the hydrophobicity score whereas the red line represents the epitope hit values. For the hydrophobicity scores, the negative values were not shown in the figure, and only the scores greater than 0 were plotted.
