Table 1 AMA1-based tetramers used in this study

From: Ex vivo tetramer staining and cell surface phenotyping for early activation markers CD38 and HLA-DR to enumerate and characterize malaria antigen-specific CD8+ T-cells induced in human volunteers immunized with a Plasmodium falciparum adenovirus-vectored malaria vaccine expressing AMA1

  1. 1IC50 nM values for the volunteer’s HLA type were predicted using NetMHC web-based software [14].
  2. 2A*30:02 is a member of the A01 supertype.
  3. 3The predicted epitope = HGKGYNWGN.
  4. 4ELISpot response to parent AMA1 peptide pool containing the epitope.
