Association of rMSP3N with merozoite-expressed proteins. (A) Colocalization studies on Plasmodium falciparum merozoite-stage parasites using immunofluorescence assay. TD, transmitted light channel; Ab, antibody. Imaris software was used to convert confocal images into clear informative schematics. (B) Western blot analysis of invasion supernatant to find the existence of the merozoite surface protein complex shed during parasite invasion. PfClpQ is a negative control.
