PfAtg8 immunofluorescence staining in control and 3-MA treated parasites. Hoechst was used as a DNA marker. Scale bar: 5 μm. Immunocytochemical analysis using PfAtg8 antibodies revealed the presence of Atg8 labeled vesicles (puncta)only in the parasite cytosol. The number of these Atg8 vesicles were reduced 50% in the 3-MA treated parasites 30302277as compared to control/
