Selection of Conserved Epitopes from Hepatitis C Virus for Pan-Populational Stimulation of T-Cell Responses
Figure 4
Solvent accessibility of HCV-specific epitopes with counterpart protein 3D structures. The figure depicts a plot of the relative solvent accessibility (%) (-axis) of each of the residues (-axis) in the HCV fragments LIFCHSKKKCDEL (a), ITYSTYGKFL (b) and TIMAKNEVF (c). We plotted both solvent accessibility considering all atoms (squares) and just residue side chains (triangles). Solvent accessibility was calculated from the relevant protein 3D structures using NACCESS [36].
