T cell epitope mapping of the hybrid peptide P467

^aThe positions of the single B cell epitope peptides P4, P6 and P7 are indicated under the sequence of the hybrid peptide P467. The amino acids SLP, which were added during the fusion of P6 and P7, are shown in bold

^bValues indicate the stimulation indexes measured after stimulation of mice splenocytes with the examined overlapping peptides, as described in materials and methods, and are representative of two sets of experiments. The overlapping peptides with SI above 2 are highlighted
