Antibody responses to the surface-exposed epitopes of the trypanosome variable surface glycoprotein in N'Dama and Boran cattle
Trypanosomes are covered with a dense layer of antigenically identical glycoproteins. These molecules are highly immunogenic and elicit an antibody response in the infected host. Antibodies against the surface-exposed epitopes of the trypanosome variable surface glycoproteins (VSG) mediate the destr...
