FIG. 1.

Peptide sequences. (A) Peptides made up of amino acids conserved in the Seattle Nichols and clonal Chicago strains. All conserved peptides are 20 aa long, except peptide 40, which is 54 aa long. The peptide number is shown to the left of the sequence. (B) Peptides with amino acids that differ between the two strains (variable region peptides). The peptide number is shown to the left of the sequence. Whether the sequence is a Nichols-specific (N) or clonal Chicago-specific (C) sequence is indicated. All of the Nichols peptides are 20 aa, but some of the clonal Chicago peptides have been adjusted in length to account for insertions or deletions. The number following v indicates the relevant TprK variable region. Amino acids within TprK variable regions (asterisks) and gaps introduced in the sequences to maximize alignment (dashes) are indicated.
