Surface antigen switching in Giardia lamblia was analyzed using monoclonal antibodies specific for two variant-specific surface proteins (VSPs). Two VSPs were detected on the surface of single trophozoites. Dual expression persisted for 13 h but disappeared at 36 h, as in other parasites that undergo surface antigenic variation.
使用针对两种变异特异性表面蛋白(VSP)的单克隆抗体分析了蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫的表面抗原转换。在单个滋养体表面检测到两种VSP。双表达持续13小时,但在36小时时消失,这与其他经历表面抗原变异的寄生虫情况相同。
