PfAP2-G2 is expressed from around 16-19 hpi in asexual stage parasite. Live fluorescence microscopy performed on a highly synchronized population of AP2-G2::GFP parasites every 7 h of the asexual life cycle showed that PfAP2-G2::GFP colocalizes with the nucleus in both the trophozoite and schizont stages. DRAQ-5 was used as the nuclear stain.
