Antigenic Variation: Molecular and Genetic Mechanisms of Relapsing Disease
Encyclopedia: Antigenic Variation
Antigenic variation is the process by which an infectious organism alters its surface proteins in order to evade a host immune response. This change in antigenic profile may occur as the pathogen passes through a host population or may take place in the originally infected host. The strategy is particularly important for organisms that target long-lived hosts, repeatedly infect a single host, and are easily transmitted. Pathogens that express these...
