PMV inhibition impairs protein export, PfEMP1 display, and cytoadherence.(A) (Top) Immunofluorescent micrographs show Hyp8-GFP is exported and localizes within puncta in the infected erythrocyte. (Middle) Hyp8-HA localizes within SBP1-containing MCs. (Right) Immuno-electron microscopy shows Hyp8-HA localization at MCs. Scale bar is 100 nm.
