Lytic anti-alpha-galactosyl antibodies from patients with chronic Chagas' disease recognize novel O-linked oligosaccharides on mucin-like glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol-anchored glycoproteins of Trypanosoma cruzi.
description:
The epitope is part of the oligosaccharide chains of the VSG117 (MITAT 1.4) glycoprotein of T. brucei.
No reactivity with NHS anti-Gal was observed either with the intact sVSG molecules or the isolated glycans.
