vs. S.Aureus
vs. S.Maltophilia
To find all the exact matches it is adviseable to break the CFTR protein into small fragments (e.g. 15 amino acids overlapping by 5 for each consecutive BLAST).

BLAST results showing the consensus sequences along the length of the native CFTR protein for S.Aureus, P.Aeruginosa, S.Maltophilia or autoantigen matches: The B cell and T cell epitope immunogenicity index is also provided. Values above the server-set thresholds (0.35 for B cell and 0.5 for T cell ) are shown in red. The topology of the CFTR protein is shown in the final column (EXT = extracellular: IN = intracellular; TM = transmembrane): Extracellular regions are highlighted in red: Autoantigen overlaps are highlighted in blue. The whole protein is not processed and BLAST searches were focussed on auto antigen overlaps in antigenic extracellular regions.
