Abstract excerpt
The major surface glycoprotein (MSG) of rat-derived Pneumocystis carinii represents a group of related molecules that are encoded by multiple genes. We isolated seven unique MSG cDNAs from a library prepared from a single infected rat lung. The cDNAs displayed both conserved and variant regions to previously described cDNAs. These clones contained inserts that ranged in size from 0.4 to 1.8 kb and all contained a...
