  1. Prediction was performed by employing the online bioinformatics platform NetMHC (version 4.0) (http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/NetMHC-4.0/). Strong binders were indicated by a percentile rank (%rank) of less than 0.5, while weak binders ranged between 0.5 to less than 2. Values above 5 were considered as non-binders.
