T82 |
0-273 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Discontinuous epitopes on the modelled structure of the Indian case 1 SARS-CoV-2 spike protein were predicted using the online servers, Ellipro (http://tools.iedb.org/ellipro/) and DiscoTope 2.0 (http://tools.iedb.org/discotope/), integrated in the Immune Epitope Database. |
T83 |
274-425 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Ellipro predicts epitopes based on the protusion index (PI), wherein the protein shape is approximated as an ellipsoid (Ref for Ellipro and DiscoTope). |
T84 |
426-560 |
Sentence |
denotes |
An ellipsoid with the PI value of 0.8 indicates that 80 per cent of the residues are within the ellipsoid and 20 per cent are outside. |
T85 |
561-642 |
Sentence |
denotes |
All residues that are outside the 80 per cent ellipsoid will have a score of 0.8. |
T86 |
643-721 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Residues with larger scores are associated with greater solvent accessibility. |
T87 |
722-761 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The PI value was set to a score of 0.8. |
T88 |
762-906 |
Sentence |
denotes |
DiscoTope predicts epitopes using 3D structure and half-sphere exposure as a surface measure in a novel spatial neighbourhood definition method. |
T89 |
907-1038 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Default values were set for sensitivity (0.47) and specificity (0.75) for selecting the amino acids forming discontinuous epitopes. |
T90 |
1039-1264 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A sensitivity of 0.47 means that 47 per cent of the epitope residues are predicted as part of the epitopes, while a specificity of 0.75 means that 25 per cent of the non-epitope residues are predicted as part of the epitopes. |
T91 |
1265-1418 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Outputs from both the methods were combined, and the final regions were mapped on the modelled 3D-structure as the most probable conformational epitopes. |
T92 |
1419-1565 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In addition, we also predicted N-linked glycosylation sites in the S protein using NetNGlyc 1.0 Server (http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/NetNGlyc/). |
T93 |
1566-1747 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The spike proteins were also screened for the presence of potential epitopes presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules to cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). |
T94 |
1748-1967 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The online NetCTL1.2 server (http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/NetCTL/) based on machine learning techniques such as artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM) was used to predict the T-cell epitopes. |
T95 |
1968-2077 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The prediction was made for all the human leucocyte antigen (HLA) supertypes and the available human alleles. |
T96 |
2078-2213 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The C terminal cleavage, weight of transport-associated protein (TAP) efficiency and threshold for identification were kept as default. |
T97 |
2214-2354 |
Sentence |
denotes |
VaxiJen v2.0 tool was used to predict the antigenicity of the predicted epitopes (http://www.ddg-pharmfac.net/vaxijen/VaxiJen/VaxiJen.html). |
T98 |
2355-2488 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The sequences were further screened to be potential epitopes using the CTLPred online server (http://crdd.osdd.net/raghava/ctlpred/). |
