Figure 2

Sequence comparison of recombinant Bm86 and Bm86 antigens. The protein sequences of the Bm86 (Cuban Camcord in Gavac), Bm86 (Mozambique), Bm86 (Susceptible, Mexico), Ba86 (Israeli strain) and Ba86 (Mission, TX) strains were aligned and the antigenic peptides (≥ 7 residues) predicted using the method of Kolaskar and Tongaonkar [29], with a reported accuracy of about 75% http://immunax.dfci.harvard.edu/Tools/antigenic.pl. The predicted antigenic peptides are underlined. The antigenic peptide present in Bm86 but absent in Ba86 (Israel strain) is shown in underlined red letters. The antigenic peptides absent in the Bm86 (Mozambique strain) sequence are shown in underlined blue letters.
