a

ARF=alternative reading frame

b

CE= cryptic epitope, TE= traditional epitope, and Pol-N and Pol-C contain peptides representing the N or C terminal regions of the protein, respectively

c

OLP= overlapping peptides

d

alleles associated with disease progression in multiple prior studies

e

sense or forward and antisense or reverse alternate reading frames; number (%) of sense and antisense is based on pool size
