MeSH definition : Glycoproteins attached to the surface coat of the trypanosome. Many of these glycoproteins
show amino acid sequence diversity expressed as antigenic variations. This continuous
development of antigenically distinct variants in the course of infection ensures
that some trypanosomes always survive the development of immune response to propagate
the infection.;
