Example of potentially immunogenic zwitter viral cis-spliced/human non-spliced peptide. Predicted crystal structure of the human IA-2 (a.k.a. PTPRN) and HCMV DNA primase (UL70) and theoretical localization of the viral-human zwitter peptide candidate LLPPLLEHL. This peptide may be generated through peptide hydrolysis from human IA-2 and through peptide splicing from HCMV DNA primase. The zwitter non-spliced peptide candidate IA-2180-188 [LLPPLLEHL] is depicted in orange. For the zwitter cis-spliced peptide candidate UL70856-857/832-838 [LL][PPLLEHL], the two splice-reactants are depicted, too.
