Epigenetic processes are the main conductors of phenotypic variation in eukaryotes. The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum employs antigenic variation of the major surface antigen PfEMP1, encoded by 60 var genes, to evade acquired immune responses. PfEMP1 also mediates sequestration of infected ...

The genomes of most protozoa encode families of variant surface antigens, whose mutually exclusive changes in expression allow parasitic microorganisms to evade the host immune response1. It is widely assumed that antigenic variation in protozoan parasites is accomplished by the spontaneous appearan...

The aim of this study is to look at antigenic variation in recrudescent Plasmodium chabaudi infections and to identify the genes, if any, which allow the parasite to avoid the acquired immune response during recrudescence. This has been done in collaboration with Jean Langhorne at NIMR whose group p...

CD4 T cell responses are characterized based on a limited number of molecular markers selected from exisiting knowledge. The goal of the experiment was to assess antigenic-peptide specific T-cell responses in vitro without bias using microarrays. PBMCs were isolated from 2 donors with allergy. The c...

These assays represent antibody-binding assays to analyze seroprevalence of antigens and epitopes at the individual level and also to perform fine epitope mapping characterizations. In this screening 392,299 peptides derived from reactive (antigenic) regions of Trypanosoma cruzi proteins were displa...

Universal Minicircle Sequence binding proteins (UMSBPs) are CCHC-type zinc-finger proteins that bind the single-stranded G-rich UMS sequence, conserved at the replication origins of minicircles in the kinetoplast DNA, the mitochondrial genome of trypanosomatids. Trypanosoma brucei UMSBP2 has been re...

Antigenic cartography of immune responses to Recombinant DBLα tags from Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1).
Presentation of antigenic peptides by MHCI is central to cellular immune responses against viral pathogens. While adaptive immune responses versus SARS-CoV-2 can be of critical importance to both recovery and vaccine efficacy, how protein antigens from this pathogen are processed inside the cell to ...

The parasite Trypanosoma brucei periodically changes the expression of protective variant surface glycoproteins (VSGs) to evade its host’s immune system in a process known as antigenic variation. One route to change VSG expression is the transcriptional activation of a previously silent VSG expressi...
