  Fig. S1. Ability of the predicted peptides to rescue the MHC monomers in vitro. Fig. S2. Malaria-specific peptides Pb1, Pb2, and F4 display high affinity to bind to H-2^b MHC class I molecules. Fig. S3. Frequencies of Pb1-, Pb2-, and F4-specific CD8⁺ T cells in the spleens and brains of PdA-infected mice. Fig. S4. CD8 T cells specific to Pb2 and F4 are insufficient on their own to cause damage to the brain microvasculature.
