The promastigote surface antigen gene family of the Leishmania parasite: differential evolution by positive selection and recombination

BACKGROUND: PSA (promastigote surface antigen) is one of the major classes of membrane proteins present at the surface of the parasitic protozoan Leishmania. While it harbours leucine rich repeats, which are suggestive of its involvement in parasite-to-host physical interactions, its exact role is l...
