P. falciparum in vitro blood stages labeled with antibodies recognizing PF10_0164. Parasites were from synchronized cultures, fixed at the indicated developmental stage. The protein appears to be absent in rings. It localizes to the PV in trophozoites and gametocytes, and is exported to the host

erythrocyte in schizonts and some trophozoites. Overlay images in all figures include DAPI for labeling nuclei. Scale bar = 5 micrometers.
