Conservation of metacyclic variant surface glycoprotein expression sites among different trypanosome isolates.

Molecular and biochemical parasitology - 1 Mar 2001

Bringaud F, Biteau N, Donelson J E, Baltz T

Abstract excerpt

We identified in a Trypanosoma brucei brucei strain (AnTat 1) an expression site for a metacyclic variant surface glycoprotein (MVSG) gene (MVSG) that was previously characterized in a T. b. rhodesiense strain (WRATat 1.1). The 3.4 kb sequences of the two expression sites are 99.6% identical, with no differences in the sequence of the 1.5 kb MVSG. Two other MVSGs in the WRATat 1.1 genome are not present in the...
