Surface Antigenic Variation in Giardia Lamblia [PDF]

Molecular Microbiology, 2002
Summary Giardia lamblia , a common intestinal dwelling protozoan and a cause of diarrhoea in humans and animals world‐wide, undergoes surface antigenic variation. The variant‐specific surface proteins (VSPs) are a family of related, highly unusual proteins that cover the entire surface of the parasite.

Utility of Hybrid Transferrin Binding Protein Antigens for Protection Against Pathogenic Neisseria Species

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
The surface transferrin receptor proteins from Neisseria gonorrhoeae have been recognized as ideal vaccine targets due to their critical role in survival in the human male genitourinary tract. Recombinant forms of the surface lipoprotein component of the

Detection and Characterization of Autoantibodies to Neuronal Cell-Surface Antigens in the Central Nervous System

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2016
Autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) is a group of disorders in which autoantibodies directed at antigens located on the plasma membrane of neurons induce severe neurological symptoms. In contrast to classical paraneoplastic disorders, AIE patients respond well

T lymphocyte surface antigen markers in osteoporosis

Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 1990
Abstract Two distinct syndromes of osteoporosis have been postulated: type I, which is characterized by accelerated bone loss occurring in women during the early postmenopausal period; and type II, an age-related process of bone loss affecting both men and women in and after the seventh decade.
