Yet another dull day in the boring life of some research scientists. Epic end of conference party at #mpm2024. If your parties are not like this you are in the wrong field and should study parasites!

Prof Papavasiliou tells us now about the extremely discriminatory antibody response in response to a T. brucei infection. In VSG2 expression, an alteration to an epitope at the Ca++ pocket vicinity drastically alters the response repertoire. More at sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Prof Papavasiliou tells us about the immune response to T. brucei infection. Initially, there is a strong plasma-blast response (~4 dpi in mice) & these plasma cells were sorted & sequenced to examine heavy & light chain gene expression: cell.com/cell-reports/pdf/S2… #BSP2024

And now from #BSP2024 session "Antigenic variation 1", we have Prof Dr Nina Papavasiliou of @DKFZ telling us about "Antigenic variation at the macro & micro scale: how the African #trypanosome coat structure helps it evade a highly diverse immune response." #ntds

The resolved cell spatial proteomes of not one but two #Trypanosoma spp. in two different life stages each! Wonderful to have been involved in this project led by @MacGregor_Lab, and a phenomenal achievement by Nicola Moloney, the star of this show. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
