Transcription Dependent Loss of an Ectopically Expressed Variant Surface Glycoprotein during Antigenic Variation in Trypanosoma brucei
In the mammalian host, Trypanosoma brucei is coated in a single-variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) species. Stochastic switching of the expressed VSG allows the parasite to escape detection by the host immune system. DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) trigger VSG switching, and repair via gene conversio...
