Abstract excerpt
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been used to amplify in vitro a semi-conserved region of a gene encoding an M(r) 68-72,000 surface antigen of Giardia intestinalis trophozoites. Using primers specific for conserved nucleotide sequences identified within the promoter-distal portion of two homologous genes (tsp11 and tsa417) cloned previously from the G. intestinalis isolates Ad-1 (from Australia) and WB...
