Caenorhabditis elegans: Exploring the Relationship between srf-6 and nsy-1
PúblicoConteúdo disponível para baixar
open in viewerParasitic nematodes may cause biomedical and agricultural problems by avoiding host immune systems through changes in surface composition during infection, a process we call surface antigen switching. C. elegans is a free-living nematode serving as a model organism for antigen switching. srf-6 mutations change the developmental surface antigen display, and previous evidence suggests that srf-6 may be identical to the MAPKKK gene nsy-1. Complementation tests between srf-6 and nsy-1 mutants were conducted to support the hypothesis that srf-6 and nsy-1 affect the same genetic function.
