Localisation of the PfRON6 protein in parasitised red blood cells. (B) Double labelling using anti-rPfRON6-B and anti- haemagglutinin (HA) in HA-tagged transgenic parasites. Confocal microscopy using anti-rPfRON6-B with anti-HA. Corresponding overlay images are shown. (C) Double labelling of PfRON6 with Pf34, PfRON4, RAMA or AMA1 in segmented schizonts. Confocal microscopy using anti-rPfRON6-B with anti-Pf34 (rhoptry neck marker), anti-PfRON4 (rhoptry neck marker), anti-RAMA (rhoptry bulb marker), or anti-AMA1 (microneme marker). Corresponding overlay images are shown. a punctate pattern of fluorescence in segmented schizonts characteristic of localisation with the apical secretory organelles.
