Localization of PfSmD1, SmD2 and SmD3 at the asexual blood stages of Plasmodium falciparum. Stage-specific expression of Plasmodium Sm proteins at asexual blood stages; ring (8 hr), trophozoite (36 hr) and schizont (42 hr) stages by immuno-localization. Immuno-fluorescence assay were performed using (A) anti mouse-PfSmD1, (B) anti- PfSmD2 and (C) anti-PfSmD3 antisera (1:50 dilution) on thin blood smears of P. falciparum. PfSm proteins showed nucleo-cytoplasmic localization.
