Abstract excerpt
The antigenic heterogeneity of Trichomonas vaginalis is due in part to the membrane disposition of immunogens (repertoire A) among some but not all isolates and among subpopulations of trichomonads of certain isolates. Heterogeneous T. vaginalis isolates undergo phenotypic variation for the A repertoire of immunogens. The presence of immunogens on (A+ phenotype) or the absence of them from (A- phenotype)...
