Antigenic regions predicted by EMBOSS: Antigenic regions in the spike (S) protein of turkey coronavirus (TCoV) isolate 540. The scores are based on the possibility that the amino acid sequence is an antigenic determinant, calculated by a semi-empirical method using physicochemical properties of amino acid residues. The amino acid sequence was deduced from the S sequence of TCoV 540 (GenBank accession number EU022525)
