To further characterize the immunogenicity and immune response profile of the CoV-691 RMEN, in silico immune simulations were conducted using the C-ImmSim server 692 The red, cyan, and yellow colored regions represent the potential antigenic domains predicted by the IEDB analysis resource Elipro analysis. GalaxyWEB-GalaxyPepDock-server followed by the refinement using GalaxyRefineComplex and free energy (ΔG) of each complex was determined in PRODIGY server. Ribbon structures represent HLA alleles and stick structures represent the respective epitopes. Light color represents the templates to which the alleles and epitopes structures were built. Further information on molecular docking analysis is also available in Supplementary Data 1.
