Serotype diversity and antigen variation among invasive isolates of Ureaplasma urealyticum from neonates.

abstract：:The surface coat of Trypanosoma brucei, formed by about 10(7) molecules of the membrane-form variant surface glycoprotein (mfVSG) per cell, is generally considered to constitute a barrier against the access of antibodies directed to invariant surface proteins. The recent characterization of two invariant surface glyco...
