Organization of two invariant surface glycoproteins in the surface coat of Trypanosoma brucei

1 Nov 1993

Abstract excerpt

The surface coat of Trypanosoma brucei, formed by about 10(7) molecules of the membrane-form variant surface glycoprotein (mfVSG) per cell, is generally considered to constitute a barrier against the access of antibodies directed to invariant surface proteins. The recent characterization of two invariant surface glycoproteins (ISGs) with apparent molecular masses of 65 and 75 kDa (ISG65 and ISG75; 70,000 and...
