let $g$ be a $p$-group of order $p^n$ and $phi$=$phi(g)$ be the frattini subgroup of $g$. it is shown that the nilpotency class of $autf(g)$, the group of all automorphisms of $g$ centralizing $g/ fr(g)$, takes the maximum value $n-2$ if and only if $g$ is of maximal class. we also determine the nilpotency class of $autf(g)$ when $g$ is a finite abelian $p$-group.

The metacyclic trypanosomes of a Trypanosoma brucei brucei clone (ILTat 2.1) were analysed with regard to their variable antigen (VAT) composition using monoclonal antibodies. The metacyclic population was antigenically heterogeneous. Despite the heterogeneity, however, the overall VAT composition of the metacyclic population appeared to be limited in number. A similar pattern of reactivity was...

let $g$ be a $p$-group of order $p^n$ and $phi$=$phi(g)$ be the frattini subgroup of $g$. it is shown that the nilpotency class of $autf(g)$, the group of all automorphisms of $g$ centralizing $g/ fr(g)$, takes the maximum value $n-2$ if and only if $g$ is of maximal class. we also determine the nilpotency class of $autf(g)$ when $g$ is a finite abelian $p$-group.

Here we consider all finite non-abelian 2-generator $p$-groups ($p$ an odd prime) of nilpotency class two and study the probability of having $n^{th}$-roots of them. Also we find integers $n$ for which, these groups are $n$-central.

Let $G$ be a finite non-abelian $p$-group and $L(G)$ denotes the absolute center of $G$. Also, let $Aut^{L}(G)$ and $Aut_c(G)$ denote the group of all absolute central and the class preserving automorphisms of $G$, respectively. In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for $G$ such that $Aut_c(G)=Aut^{L}(G)$. We also characterize all finite non-abelian $p$-groups of order $p^...

Bloodstream form trypomastigotes of four cloned stocks of Trypanosoma congolense from West Africa were successfully adapted to continuous in vitro culture at 28 degrees C using bovine aorta endothelial cell monolayers and Eagle's minimum essential medium supplemented with 20% normal bovine serum or foetal calf serum. The trypanosomes maintained in vitro morphologically resembled bloodstream for...

Let $G$ be a $p$-group of order $p^n$ and $Phi$=$Phi(G)$ be the Frattini subgroup of $G$. It is shown that the nilpotency class of $Autf(G)$, the group of all automorphisms of $G$ centralizing $G/ Fr(G)$, takes the maximum value $n-2$ if and only if $G$ is of maximal class. We also determine the nilpotency class of $Autf(G)$ when $G$ is a finite abelian $p$-group.

The protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi expresses multiple isoforms of the GP63 family of metalloproteases. Polyclonal antiserum against recombinant GP63 of T. cruzi (TcGP63) was used to study TcGP63 expression and localization in this organism. Western blot analysis revealed that TcGP63 is 61 kDa in epimastigotes, amastigotes, and tissue culture-derived trypomastigotes but 55 kDa in metacyclic trypoma...
