An accessory role for the diacylglycerol moiety of variable surface glycoprotein of African trypanosomes in the simulation of bovine monocytes
The membrane-associated form of the variable surface glycoprotein (mfVSG) from African trypanosomes is a potent macrophage activator capable of inducing production of tumor necrosis factor z (TNFalfa) in both bovine and murine models. Using a bovine model. we have re-investigated the hypothesis that...
