Table 1. Diffusion properties of VSG on the cell surface of living trypanosomes.
D (μm2s−1) | Mf (%) | n | |
---|---|---|---|
native VSG | 0.027 ± 0.008 | 80 ± 5 | 20 |
VSG-mSAV | 0.010 ± 0.003 | 75 ± 12 | 17 |
trypsin-VSG | 0.043 ± 0.013 | 76 ± 5 | 18 |
(D) Diffusion coefficient; (Mf) mobile fraction. Data shown as mean ± SD.
