A new family of giardial cysteine-rich non-VSP protein genes and a novel cyst protein.

A new family of giardial cysteine-rich non-VSP protein genes and a novel cyst protein.

Since the Giardia lamblia cyst wall is necessary for survival in the environment and host infection, we tested the hypothesis that it contains proteins other than the three known cyst wall proteins. Serial analysis of gene expression during growth and encystation revealed a gene, "HCNCp" (...
