Figure 1.

Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences of GmN70 and LjN70. Regions of high sequence conservation are boxed in black. Regions proposed to form transmembrane α-helices (represented by gray-shaded boxes above the sequence) were identified from a hydropathy plot (shown below the aligned sequences) by using the Kyte-Doolittle algorithm (Kyte and Doolittle, 1982) in the DNAstar software package. The sequence that was used to make a synthetic peptide antigen for site-specific antibody formation is indicated by the box between α-helices 6 and 7.
