PF3D7_0302500 cytoadherence linked asexual protein 3.1

Expression of rhoptry protein CLAG3.1 on surface of P. falciparum merozoites isolated in intracellular buffer (5 mM NaCl, 140 mM KCl, 1 mM EGTA), detected by IFA using anti-CLAG3.1 rabbit sera followed by FITC-conjugated (green) anti-rabbit IgG goat sera. Nuclear DNA was counterstained with DAPI (blue). Bright field, bright field merged with DAPI staining and merged fluorescence images (DAPI and FITC) are shown. Black bar indicates 2 mm.
