Rhoptry-associated proteins in merozoite rhoptries by immunoelectron microscopy using rhoptry-specific mouse and rabbit antisera. P. falciparum rhoptries within merozoites in segmented schizonts reacted with antiserum #686; a 39-kDa C-terminal recombinant (RH3 3-5). Gold particles (15 nm) label the electron dense compartment of the rhoptries. Bar, 0.25 mm.
