Surface antigens and potential virulence factors from parasites detected by comparative genomics of perfect amino acid repeats
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Many parasitic organisms, eukaryotes as well as bacteria, possess surface antigens with amino acid repeats. Making up the interface between host and pathogen such repetitive proteins may be virulence factors involved in immune evasio...
