Characterization of Cysteine-rich protein families of <i>Giardia lamblia</i> and their role during antigenic variation

2022-03-08

Abstract excerpt

Giardia lamblia encode several families of cysteine-rich proteins. Among these families are the Variant-specific Surface Proteins (VSPs), which are involved in the process of antigenic variation. In addition to VSPs, other Cys-rich proteins have been described, such as High Cysteine Membrane Proteins (HCMPs), High Cysteine Proteins (HCPs) and Tenascin-like Proteins (TLPs). However, these proteins are less characte...
