  1. Prediction results for 19 epitope candidates (plus one reference epitope, A01HexonTDLG) predicted for frequent HLA class I alleles and clinically relevant HAdV types using three different prediction tools (SYFPETHI, BIMAS, and NetChop). Epitope candidates were selected with respect to their predicted HLA binding affinity (BL binding level) and peptide-HLA complex stability (SL stability level). Epitopes were classified as weak binders (WB threshold 500 nM) or strong binders (SB threshold 50 nM) with either weak stability (WS threshold 2 h) or high stability (HS threshold 6 h) according to the predicted scores.
  2. Pre-classified immunodominant peptide candidates are highlighted in italic
  3. aEstimated half-time (t1/2) of dissociation (in hours)
  4. bEstimated peptide binding affinity to HLA alleles as IC50 value (in nM)
  5. cEstimated stability of peptide-MHC I complexes as IC50 value (in nM), and IC50 = half-maximum inhibitory concentration
