Extensive SP remodeling between mammalian and insect stages of T. brucei and T. cruzi. (a) Relative distribution of SP subclasses in the mammalian stage of T. brucei (bloodstream form). (b) Relative distribution of SP subclasses in the mammalian stage of T. cruzi (trypomastigotes). (c) Relative distribution of SP subclasses in insect stages of T. brucei (procyclic form). (d) Relative distribution of SP subclasses in the insect stage of T. cruzi (epimastigotes). AEPnC is present in the epimastigotes, albeit at lower levels. SP were measured using LC-MRM and the semi-quantitative data represent mol%, relative to the total SP measured.
