Schematic diagram of the EGFR wild type protein showing the area of in-frame deletion which forms EGFRvIII. During the deletion amino acids 6 and 273 are split forming a novel glycine at the junction of amino acids 5 and 274. PEPvIII is a 13 amino acid peptide with a terminal cysteine added to facilitate conjugation to KLH.
