Variant Surface Glycoprotein gene repertoires in Trypanosoma brucei have diverged to become strain-specific

BACKGROUND: In a mammalian host, the cell surface of African trypanosomes is protected by a monolayer of a single variant surface glycoprotein (VSG). The VSG is central to antigenic variation; one VSG gene is expressed at any one time and there is a low frequency stochastic switch to expression of a...
