FIG. 2.

Sequence analysis of phage-derived mimotopes. Mimotopes expressed by phages cloned through library screening with the MAb anti-SAPA (group I) or rabbit polyclonal anti-SAPA antibodies (groups II and III) are aligned with the SAPA sequence. Hyphens are introduced for better alignment. Another four phages bearing the sequences KVRNWRESM (phage 1), CRWPDVLLWC (phage 2), CQKAGGVAL (phage 6), and NSHAARDAW (phage 9) without obvious homology to SAPA were also obtained by rabbit antibody screening.
