The work could be useful for understanding the immunodominant regions in the surface protein of SARS-CoV-2 and could potentially help in designing some peptide-based diagnostics. The potential epitope regions were predicted using the sequence of the S protein of SARS-CoV-2 that showed the least variability (GenBank accession number NC_045512). We identified 18 linear epitopes, predicted by ElliPro (IEDB), which contained regions from 19 of our selected peptides (highlighted in red in Table 2 ). The study could help us to use the predicted peptide as an immunogen for the development of diagnostics and vaccines against SARS-CoV-2. In the present study, peptide segments were identified on S proteins for the development of diagnostics and vaccines against SARS-CoV-2. ./cache/cord-318625-hf7fgtnp.txt ./txt/cord-318625-hf7fgtnp.txt
