Their start position (within the env protein of 856 amino acids) is marked as is their position with respect to predicted B-cell epitopes within the env protein (these are all within regions with an antigenicity index of greater than the server-set threshold of 0.35: see supplementary Table 1). Spaces within the sequences indicate nonidentical amino acids and + signs an amino acid with similar physicochemical properties. The gray shaded sequences are within sequences that have been described as epitopes in experimental studies (B cell, T cell, or MHC binding from IEDB: The amino acid sequences of these experimentally verified epitopes are appended at the bottom of the table). Note that these sequences often overlap within consecutive regions of the env protein. In the majority of cases shown, contiguous sequences were of pentapeptides, although longer gapped sequences are also illustrated.
