Abstract
The effect of human-specific antibody on surface membrane antigens of trypomastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi was studied in vitro by using immunofluorescence methods. Immune sera induced aggregation of surface antigens in trypomastigotes to form polar cell caps.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
