Experimental Verification of the Identity of Variant-Specific Surface Proteins in Giardia lamblia Trophozoites
The cell membrane of a Giardia lamblia trophozoite is covered with a single species of variant-specific surface protein (VSP) that is replaced by another VSP every 6 to 13 generations of cell growth, possibly for an evasion of host immunity. Experimentally, only six VSP species have been verified to...
