Correlation of allergenic T-cell epitope dominance with adjacent segments of flexibility in Ves v 5. In A, profiles of flexibility or stability (indicated by the line plots) are superimposed on the profile of epitope score (area plot), which is based on the T-cell responses reported by Bohle et al. [2]. In B, plots of correlation coefficient vs. offset for the full-length Ves v 5. In C, plots of correlation coefficient vs. offset for the protein N-terminally truncated at residue 57.
