Physical characterization of a trypanosoma (Nannomonas) congolense metacyclic- specific variable surface glycoprotein expression site.
Trypanosomes are unicellular protozoans that alter their hosts I immune response by antigen variation; a process during which the trypanosome periodically switches the antigen profile of the variable surface glycoprotein (VSG), an immunodominant molecule that covers its entire surface. The VSGs are...
