Antibodies to Trypanosoma Glycoprotein Variants Over Time Sleeping sickness is caused by the unicellular Trypanosoma parasite. The surface of this parasite is covered by glycoproteins that are encoded by a gene with more than 1,000 duplications in the trypanosome genome. Each of the gene copies is slightly different and has different molecular structures. The data below show the number of parasites over time (A) and the relative amount of antibodies specific to two trypanosome glycoproteins (B) over 24 days of...
