PF3D7_1133400 apical membrane antigen 1

Post-embedding immunolableing of P. falciparum isolate FC27, with affinity-purified anti Ag352 antibodies to AMA-1 (A,B,C) and rabbit anti QF3 monoclonal antibody 7H8/50 to RAP-1 (D). Bars equal 100 nm. A. Maturing merozoites within a schizont showing gold particles over rhoptry neck (RN) and micronemes (Mn). B,C Free merozoites showing labeling of electron dense rhoptry necks (RN), no labeling over rhoptry bodies (RB), and sparse labeling of merozoite periphery. D. Immunolabeling restricted to the body of rhoptries (RB).
