The existence of lipophosphoglycanlike molecules in Trichomonads.
The trichomonods, Trichomonas vaginalis and Tritrichomonas foetus, appear to express novel lipophosphoglycon (LPG) like glycoconjugates on their cell surface, which are structurally distinct from Leishmania LPGs'. In this article, Bibhuti Singh discusses the structural and cellular aspects o f these molecules, and speculates on their biological significance.
