Humoral responses against Trypanosoma brucei variable surface antigen are induced by degenerating parasites
An analysis was made of the inductive stimuli for anti‐T. brucei variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) responses and the role played by humoral immunity in trypanosome wave control. The first wave parasitaemia was influenced by the rate of parasite differentiation from rapidly dividing slender forms to...
