Fig. 1. Antigenic clustering and potential CREs between 2019-nCoV and SARS. A: Antigenic clustering of S proteins for 53 representative CoVs based on the 6th epitope regions. One cluster is marked in cyan, and the other is marked in pink. The 2019-nCoV is marked as WH Human1-2019-nCoV here. B: Details in the 2019-nCoV cluster with score matrix of antigenic similarity. C: Position mapping of potential CREs on the modeled structure of 2019-nCoV (WH-Human1-2019-nCoV).D: Position mapping of potential CREs on the modeled structure of SARS-CoV B039 (Q4JDN3). E: Sequence alignment of S proteins for 2019-nCoV and SARS-CoVs. Epitope regions are highlighted in red, and five essential human ACE2-binding sites are highlighted in blue. Sites are numbered based on the S protein sequence of 2019-nCoV. Dot in the sequence of SARS-CoV represents gap insertion. F: Surface view of CREs and ACE2-binding sites. CREs are marked in red, and ACE2-binding sites are marked in cyan. CRE, cross-reactive epitope; CoV, coronavirus; SARS, severe acute respiratory syndrome.
