Recombinant Antigens Expressed in Pichia pastoris for the Diagnosis of Sleeping Sickness Caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense
Population screening for the chronic form of sleeping sickness or gambiense human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) is still based on an antibody detection test against the native variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) LiTat 1.3. This protein is produced through massive infections of lab animals with highly...
