Localisation of RhopH2 at different intra-erythrocytic stages of P. falciparum. Infected erythrocyteswere harvested at different stages of the parasite intra-erythrocytic cycle (early trophozoite, mid to late trophozoites and schizont respectively), acetone/methanol fixed and incubated with the RhopH2-specific antibodies. The nuclei were stained with Dapi (blue).
