Identification of peptide mimotopes of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense variant surface glycoproteins.
BACKGROUND: The current antibody detection tests for the diagnosis of gambiense human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) are based on native variant surface glycoproteins (VSGs) of Trypanosoma brucei (T.b.) gambiense. These native VSGs are difficult to produce, and contain non-specific epitopes that may...
