The significance of transferrin receptor variation in Trypanosoma brucei.

Trends in parasitology - 1 Mar 2003

Steverding Dietmar

Abstract excerpt

The transferrin receptor of Trypanosoma brucei is encoded by genes located in different expression sites. The various expression sites encode slightly different transferrin receptors, which differ substantially in their affinity for transferrin of different host species. It was proposed that T. brucei has developed multiple expression sites encoding different transferrin receptors not only to cope with the...
