Redundancy and recombination in the Echinococcus AgB multigene family: is there any similarity with protozoan contingency genes?

Parasitology - 1 Oct 2006

Haag K L, Gottstein B, Müller N, Schnorr A, Ayala F J

Abstract excerpt

Numerous genetic variants of the Echinococcus antigen B (AgB) are encountered within a single metacestode. This could be a reflection of gene redundancy or the result of a somatic hypermutation process. We evaluate the complexity of the AgB multigene family by characterizing the upstream promoter regions of the 4 already known genes (EgAgB1-EgAgB4) and evaluating their redundancy in the genome of 3 Echinococcus...
