Mapping of B cell epitopes in an immunodominant antigen of Trypanosoma cruzi using fusions to the Escherichia coli LamB protein
The JL8 protein antigen from Trypanosoma cruzi, a dominant immunogen in man, has been characterized as containing tandem amino acid repeats. Here, we describe the use of the Lamb protein of Escherichia coli as a carrier of JL8 derived sequences in order to map the immunodominant B cell epitopes in t...
