Pf ZIP1 localization through gametocyte stages. (A) Immunofluorescence confocal microscopy of stage III P. falciparum gametocytesusing anti-Pf ZIP1 Ab. (B) Immunofluorescence confocal microscopy of stage III−stage V gametocytes using anti-Pf ZIP1 Ab and anti α-tubulin Ab.The latter served as a marker for male gametocytes. DAPI was used as the nuclear stain. Images shown are representative of >60 images scannedfrom two sets of IFA labeling experiments.
