Descriptor English: Variant Surface Glycoproteins, Trypanosoma
Descriptor Spanish: Glicoproteínas Variantes de Superficie de Trypanosoma
Descriptor glicoproteínas variantes de superficie del tripanosoma
Entry term(s) glicoproteínas variantes de la cubierta superficial del tripanosoma
Scope note: Glicoproteínas unidas a la cubierta de la superficie del tripanosoma. Muchas de las glicoproteínas muestran diversas secuencias de aminoácidos expresados como variaciones antigénicas. Este desarrollo contínuo de variantes antigénicamente diferentes en el curso de la infección asegura que algunos tripanosomas siempre sobrevivan al desarrollo de la respuesta inmune, para propagar la infección.

Scope note: Glycoproteins attached to the surface coat of the trypanosome. Many of these glycoproteins show amino acid sequence diversity expressed as antigenic variations. This continuous development of antigenically distinct variants in the course of infection ensures that some trypanosomes always survive the development of immune response to propagate the infection.
