Fungal antigenic variation using mosaicism and reassortment of subtelomeric genes’ repertoires, potentially mediated by DNA triplexes

2023-03-21

Abstract excerpt

Surface antigenic variation is crucial for major pathogens that infect humans, e.g. Plasmodium 1 , Trypanosoma 2 , Giardia 3 . In order to escape the immune system, they exploit various mechanisms in order to modify or exchange the protein that is exposed on the cell surface, at the genetic, expressional, and/or epigenetic level 4 . Understanding these mechanisms is important to better prevent and fight the de...
