Restless gossamers: antibody clearance by hydrodynamic flow forces generated at the surface of motile trypanosome parasites
Trypanosomes evade antibody-mediated lysis via antigenic variation and rapid antibody removal from their cell surface. Recently, in Cell, Engstler et al. (2007) have discovered the mechanism for antibody clearance. Hydrodynamic forces generated by trypanosome swimming create a current, causing surfa...
