Figure 3. Schematic diagram of multi-epitope vaccine peptide.

Figure 3

It is a 32 (insert amino acid number) amino acid long sequence having Beta-defensin as an adjuvant (light canary yellow) which is connected to the highest antigenic CTL epitope sequence (pink) through EAAAK linker (white). The CTL epitopes are linked to each other by GGGS linkers (grayish cyan), and to the highest antigenic HTL epitope (light blue) by AAY linkers (very soft yellow). Next, the HTL epitopes are linked to each other through AAY linkers, and to the highest antigenic B Epitope (vivid yellow) through KK linkers (pale violet). The B epitopes are linked to each other using the KK linkers as well.
