The sequences of the proteins of interest were obtained from
the public databases: GeneDB and the National Center for Biotechnology Information GeneDB (http://www.genedb.org/
Homepage) and NCBI(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). We obtained
a set of protein sequences with well-known immunogenic
potential that have been described in the literature (KP) and a
set of proteins whose immunogenic potential is still unknown
(UP) (Agiro et al., 2000; Ahmed et al., 2001 and McManus and
Loukas, 2008).
