Expression and localization of actin-depolymerizing factor 1 (PfADF1) and actine 1 (PfAct1) in P. falciparum. IFA of mature P. falciparum schizont stages labeled with PfAct1, PfADF1, and PfRON4 antisera. r, rabbit; m, mouse. (Scale bars, 2 μm.) Immunofluorescence assays (IFA) of schizont stages (before merozoite release) demonstrated broad labeling across the parasite cytosol with the exception of the nucleus (marked by DAPI. This distribution was consistent with that of PfAct1.
