Characterization of humoral immune response against the immunoglobulin-binding protein (BIP) of Giardia lamblia: A potential vaccine candidate.
Giardiasis is caused by the widespread intestinal parasite Giardia lamblia. The characterization of immunogenic proteins in G. lamblia has been investigated to identify potential vaccine targets, including members of the giardin family, variant-specific surface proteins (VSPs), cyst wall proteins (CWPs) and heat shock...
