Table 4 Prediction of population coverage

From: Human immunome, bioinformatic analyses using HLA supermotifs and the parasite genome, binding assays, studies of human T cell responses, and immunization of HLA-A*1101 transgenic mice including novel adjuvants provide a foundation for HLA-A03 restricted CD8+T cell epitope based, adjuvanted vaccine protective against Toxoplasma gondii

  1. a projected population coverage for SAG1224-232 (KSFKDILPK); GRA6164-172 (AMLTAFFLR);GRA7134-142 (RSFKDLLKK); SAG2C13-21 (STFWPCLLR); SPA250-258(SSAYVFSVK); SPA89-98 (AVVSLLRLLK).
  2. b average number of epitope hits/HLA combinations recognized by the population
  3. c minimum number of epitope hits/HLA combinations recognized by 90% of the population.
  4. Population coverage was calculated using the analysis resource available at the IEDB http://www.iedb.org, and as described by Bui et al. 2006 [PMID 16545123]. Calculations are based on HLA genotypic frequencies obtained from the dbMHC database http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mhc/. Population coverage reflects the fraction of individuals predicted to respond the epitope set inclusive of SAG1224-232 (KSFKDILPK), GRA6164-172 (AMLTAFFLR), GRA7134-142 (RSFKDLLKK), SAG2C13-21 (STFWPCLLR), SPA250-258 (SSAYVFSVK), and SPA89-98 (AVVSLLRLLK). The value shown corresponds to the average coverage across 11 different major geographical areas.
