Article

A group of Giardia lamblia variant-specific surface protein (VSP) genes with nearly identical 5' regions.

Molecular and biochemical parasitology - 1 Dec 1995

Yang Y, Adam R D

Abstract excerpt

The surfaces of Giardia lamblia trophozoites contain one of a set of variant-specific surface proteins. The genes encoding these proteins are highly conserved at the 3' terminus, but frequently demonstrate little similarity in the remainder of the coding region. This report describes a family of...
