aWhen the amino acid sequence of the host species is not known, the amino acid sequence of the nearest species was used. This was the case for Saimiri sciureus, Aotus trivirgatus, Erythrocebus patas, and Ateles spp. where Saimiri boliviensis, Aotus nancymaae, Macaca mulatta, and Aotus nancymaae, respectively, were used.
