Indirect immunofluorescence assay on thin smears of schizont and merozoites from wild-type and Δdblmsp parasites showing expression of DBLMSP (green; first panel) and MSP1 (red; second panel). Third panel depicts the overlay of both antibodies with the nuclear stain DAPI; forth panel shows the corresponding brightfield images. Size bars represent 1μm.
