Experimental Verification of the Identity of Variant-Specific Surface Proteins in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Giardia lamblia</named-content> Trophozoites
ABSTRACT 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 ve...
