Other parasites are known to engage in their own renditions of antigenic variation.
2.
Many genes involved in antigenic variation are located in the subtelomeric regions of the chromosomes.
3.
Antigenic variation is common among pathogenic organisms.
4.
Due to transcriptional switching between " var " genes, antigenic variation occurs which enables immune evasion by the parasite.
5.
The antigenic variation of the knob proteins is only one aspect of the parasite's Rube Goldbergian approach to life.
6.
Antigenic variation is a characteristic shared by the Salivaria, which has been particularly well-studied in " T . congolense ".
7.
This tremendous complexity allows the parasite to constantly change its surface and thus evade the immune system through antigenic variation.
8.
Some antigenic variation can occur within subgroups, and all strains are oncogenic, but oncogenicity and the ability to replicate varies between subgroups.
9.
This process, called antigenic variation, allows the spirochaete to evade the host s immune response and cause relapsing episodes of fever and other symptoms.
10.
Developing a vaccine is very difficult because the spirochetes avoid the immune response of the infected person ( or animal ) through antigenic variation.
