Genetics of surface antigen expression in Pneumocystis carinii.

J R Stringer1, S P Keely.   

Abstract

This article reviews the molecular genetic data pertaining to the major surface glycoprotein (MSG) gene family of Pneumocystis carinii and its role in surface variation and compares this fungal system to antigenic variation systems in the protozoan Trypanosoma brucei and the bacteria Borrelia spp.
