KAHRP chimaeras localise to the endoplasmic reticulum in addition to the parasitophorous vacuole or erythrocyte cytosol. Images captured by immunofluorescence microscopy show substantial colocalisation of KAHRP chimaeras with the endoplasmic reticulum calcium-binding protein ERC (upper panel). Intraparasitic fluorescence is also evident when chimaeras were colocalised with the parasitophorous vacuole membrane protein EXP-2 PF14_0678 (lower panel). Only the wild type (WT) PEXEL chimaera efficiently exported to the erythrocyte cytosol,
