Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed at identification of cell adhesion molecules of Trypanosoma congolense epimastigotes and bloodstream forms, and isolation of candidate molecules with biochemical and molecular methods followed by its identification with mass spectrometry analyses were carried out. As the result of that, several surface proteins of unknown function and one unknown protein interacting with sialic acid were yielded as candidate proteins from epimastigotes and bloodstream forms, respectively.
