The TepiTool 2016, ABCpred 2006, and DiscoTope 2.0 servers were used to predict T-cell and B-cell epitopes by inputting the FASTA sequences and 3D structures of NIS, thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and Ro60 Y RNA-binding protein (Ro60), which served as reference antigens for HT and SS, respectively. Here, SLC5A5 is linked to hematocrit.
