The overall goal of this method is to isolate trypanosomes expressing a particular variant surface glycoprotein or VSG from the rest of the population and identify parasites that have switched from the starting dominant VSG to any other VSG. This

African trypanosomes grown in vitro undergo antigenic variation at a low rate, such that populations are made up of parasites expressing a dominant variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) type and a small population of "switched" variants. This protocol describes a fast method for detecting and quantifying these populations.
