Abstract

ABSTRACT This article introduces a miniseries of three commentaries on parasite cell biology. The reviews were written as a tribute to Keith Vickerman FRS on his retirement as Regius Professor of Zoology at the University of Glasgow and are based on presentations given at a symposium held to honour his pioneering work in the field. On page 2799 of this issue, Michael Ferguson reviews the structure and function of GPI anchors, and the contributions that studies of trypanosomes have made. In subsequent issues, James Alexander, Abhay Satoskar and David Russell discuss Leishmania species as models of intracellular parasitism, and Michael Turner presents a holistic view of antigenic variation in Trypanosoma brucei infections.
