Abstract
Two cell surface glycoproteins from Trypanosoma cruzi have been compared for their ability to protect mice against an acute lethal infection. One of these, a 90,000 glycoprotein found on all stages of the parasite, protected against both bloodstream and metacyclic trypomastigote challenge. A 72,000 glycoprotein found only on insect-derived stages of T. cruzi protected only against a metacyclic trypomastigote challenge. Antibody against both of these glycoproteins was present in human chagasic sera.Entities:
