Computer-Aided Design of an Epitope-Based Vaccine against Epstein-Barr Virus

Figure 4

The EBV gp350 contact region with CR2. EBV B cell epitopes ETVPYIKWDN and GNGPKASGGD map onto a gp350 region that interacts with CR2; epitopes colored blue and red and the gp350 backbone featured as pale green ribbon. Side chains of the residues described to interact with CR2 receptor by Young et al. [67] are shown as sticks. Figure was rendered using PyMOL.
