Stage-specific expression and subcellular localization of PfAlba3. Subcellular localization of PfAlba3 was confirmed by IF analysis of PfAlba3 (Red, Alexa flour 633) throughout the parasite asexual blood stages (ring, early and late trophozoite, schizont stages). PfAlba3 appeared as making distinct subnuclear spot and concentrated mainly toward the periphery of the nucleus during ring stages, whereas during trophozoite and schizont stages PfAlba3 seems distributed throughout the nucleus with more visible punctate staining pattern.
