Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: It is well documented that Giardia duodenalis undergoes surface antigenic variation both in vivo and in vitro. Proteins involved have been characterized and referred to as VSP (variable surface protein). METHODS: Two cloned cDNA inserts of 0.45 and 1.95 kb were obtained from G. duodenalis expression library and sequenced. Comparison sequence analyses were made against Genbank. PCR analysis was...
