From: Epitope similarity cannot explain the pre-formed T cell immunity towards structural SARS-CoV-2 proteins

Figure 3

OC43 and HKU1 epitopes can be presented on many HLAs. Epitopes were predicted using netMHCpan and netMHCIIpan in selected pathogens. The similarity between each SARS-CoV-2 epitope and pathogen epitope was calculated using the edit distance, and the number of shortest matches was enumerated. (a) Total number of HLA-I epitopes with a edit distance between 0 and 3. (b) Total number of HLA-II epitopes with a edit distance between 0 and 3. The pathogens are ordered per plot from highest to lowest, while the fill color is preserved.
