Exposed epitopes on a Trypanosoma equiperdum variant surface glycoprotein altered by point mutations.

The EMBO journal - 1 Jul 1991

Abstract excerpt

African trypanosomes are covered by a dense protein layer that is immunologically distinct on different trypanosome isolates and is termed the variant surface glycoprotein (VSG). The different VSGs are expressed in a general order, where some VSGs appear preferentially early in infection and others only later. The exposed epitopes on a late antigen, VSG 78, of T.equiperdum were studied by the technique of...
