Left panels show the distribution of vaccinia virus (VACV) proteins within the viral genome (grey; total of 211 unique VACV genes) and top 21 (10% of all open reading frames) most abundant proteins contained within virion (black) based on (A) expression kinetics (IE, E, E/L, L, unknown) or (B) functional category (virulence, regulation, structural, unknown). Right panels show the distribution of VACV proteins identified as targets of CD8 T cells (black; top 23 most prevalent antigens), CD4 T cells (grey; top 21 antigens, >40% of tested donors) or antibodies (white; top 19 antigens, >20% of tested donors) based on (A) expression kinetics (IE, E, E/L, L, unknown) or (B) functional category0 (virulence, regulation, structural, unknown).
Ab: Antibody; E: Early; E/L: Early/late; IE: Immediate-early; L: Late.
