Trypanosomiasis is a serious constraint to livestock production in sub-Saharan Africa. Some breeds of cattle are genetically more resistant to the pathogenic effects of trypanosome infection. We measured B-cell activation and the quantity and isotype of antibody produced at the cellular level in ...

Trypanosoma congolense: B-Lymphocyte responses differ between trypanotolerant and trypanosusceptible cattle
The complete nucleotide sequences were determined for three transcripts each encoding a different variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) of Trypanosoma (Nannomonas) congolense. The nucleotide sequence was determined also for a transcript encoding a fourth VSG, but this was truncated. The data obtaine...
In higher eukaryotes, key steps in the control of growth and proliferation are regulated by protein phosphorylation. However, little is known abot the role of protein phosphorylation in the development cycles of pathogenic protozoa. In Trypanosoma brucei, only the bloodform and procyclic form sta...

Trypanosoma congolense: Developmental regulation of protein kinases and tyrosine phosphorylation during the life cycle
A comparison of T-cell-mediated immune responses in trypanotolerant N'Dama and susceptible Boran cattle during primary infection with tsetse-transmitted Trypanosoma congolense was conducted to assess whether different patterns of T-cell activation occurred during trypanosome infection. Proliferat...

T-cell-mediated immune responses to defined antigens of Trypanosoma congolense were measured in cattle undergoing primary infection. The antigens used were the variable surface glycoprotein and two invariant antigens, a 33-kDa cysteine protease (congopain) and a recombinant form of a 69-kDa heat-...
