Sera from metastatic breast cancer patients recognized hum1, hum7, and hum11 fragments (blue lines). Sera from early breast cancer patients recognized hum1, hum7, hum9 and hum11 fragments (red lines). Green lines represent sera from healthy donor patients. Screening of sera from mice vaccinated with EC-TM plasmid by an ELISA assay based on rat LFPD (b). Both sera from non-tolerant Balb/c (blue line) and tolerant Balb/neuT (red line) mice recognized rat1, rat2, rat9 and rat11 conformational epitopes, although tolerant mice sera showed a lower reactivity. Sera from mice vaccinated with a truncated form of HER2 (EC4) recognized rat6, rat9 and rat11 fragments (orange line). Pepito based analysis of human HER2 (c). Pepito based analysis of rat HER2 (d). Red zones indicate the maximum probability to find a conformational epitope.</p>
