Localization of RhopH2 vs. PfSBP1 in trophozoites. Immunofluorescence studies on SLO-permeabilized trophozoites using RhopH2-specific sera and mouse PfSBP1-specific serum as indicated. The differential interference contrast (DIC) images, the Hoechst nuclei staining and the merge are presented. Four acquisitions at different z-value (as indicated) are presented in each panel. PfSBP1 localizes to the Maurer’s clefts.
