Binding affinity rankings of the best epitopes do not differ between susceptible and protective alleles. The relative ranks of epitopes from each HCV protein are plotted for the protective (B*5701, B*2705, and Cw*0101; filled circles) and susceptible (B*1801, Cw*0401; open circles) HLA alleles (see Table 1). The median of each group is indicated by a horizontal line. The relative rank is calculated with respect to the binding scores of all peptides from the HCV proteome and separately for each HLA allele. None of the differences between susceptible and protective alleles are significant at α = 0.05.
