PEXEL-independent export of PEXEL proteins does not occur in P. falciparum. (a) HRPII 4A is exported to the P. falciparum-infected erythrocyte. HRPII 4A RLE4A and HRPII 4A RLE4A Down are not exported. Scale bar, 5 mm. (b) PfEMP31–82 is exported by P. falciparum to the erythrocyte, but PfEMP3 4A RLQ4A is not. Scale bar, 5 mm.
