The Echinococcus granulosus antigen B shows a high degree of genetic variability.

Experimental parasitology - 1 Jan 2000

Arend A C, Zaha A, Ayala F J, Haag K L

Abstract excerpt

Echinococcus granulosus larvae secret a polymeric lipoprotein known as antigen B (AgB) into the metacestode hydatid fluid. Three similar AgB subunits have been previously identified (AgB1, AgB2, and AgB3), and their respective genes isolated, but the actual number of genes encoding AgB subunits remains uncertain. In this study, we characterize the variability of genes encoding the AgB2 subunit, using PCR and...
