Trypanosoma brucei variable surface antigen is released by degenerating parasites but not by actively dividing parasites
Surface antigen biosynthesis and fate in monomorphic and pleomorphic Trypanosoma brucei was examined to assess how slender and stumpy form T. brucei parasites present their variant specific glycoprotein (VSG) to the host immune system. Monomorphic and pleomorphic T. brucei did not release recently s...
