High levels of amino acid sequence similarity between MPXV and other OPXVs. The x axis of the right four columns represents the four antigen proteins (A35R, B6R, A29L, and M1R) we tested in this study for the current MPXV strain (lineage B.1). Rows in the y axis list many previously reported orthopoxvirus (OPXV) strains (in total 83 strains), with their corresponding GenBank accession numbers listed in the left column. Each number in grayscales represents the amino acid sequence similarity between the 2022MPXV (lineage B.1) antigen proteins and their homologs in different OPXVs. See Methods for the details of MPXV and OPXV protein sequences
