Experimental production of anti-membrane bound variable surface glycoglycoprotein (anti-VSGm) antibodies for in vitro and in situ immunostaining of pathogenic African trypanosomes

2020-03-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) of the African trypanosomes is the major membrane protein of the plasma membrane of the bloodstream stage of the parasite. African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in animals) is caused by the systemic infection of the host by several sub-species of the extracellular haemoflagellate protozoa under genus Trypanosoma. As a defense bar...
