Table 7 Effect of length of dengue virus serotype 2 (DV2) envelope protein sequences on short-peptide (9-mer) antigenic diversity.
From: Large-scale analysis of antigenic diversity of T-cell epitopes in dengue virus
Length of fragments | 100% (460 aa) | 60% (276 aa) | 30% (138 aa) | 20% (92 aa) | 10% (46 aa) | 5% (23 aa) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Number of fragments | 187 | 187 | 187 | 187 | 187 | 187 |
Number of unique fragments | 187 | 131 | 82 | 58 | 27 | 17 |
Minimal number of fragments that represent complete short-peptide antigenic diversity (Mean ± SE) | 111 ± 0.11 | 74 ± 0.11 | 48 ± 0.17 | 38 ± 0.10 | 24 ± 0.10 | 14 ± 0.10 |
Percentage of fragments that represent complete short-peptide antigenic diversity (%) (Mean ± SE) | 59 ± 0.06 | 40 ± 0.06 | 26 ± 0.09 | 20 ± 0.05 | 13 ± 0.05 | 7 ± 0.05 |
