MSRP6 is a Maurer’s clefts protein expressed in trophozoites and schizonts. Pre-embedding immuno-EM of infected RBC, where the host cell cytosol has been released with tetanolysin, reacted with anti-MSRP6 antisera. Small panels show overviews with boxes highlighting individual Maurer’s clefts for which enlargements are shown. Gold label is indicated with arrowheads. Size bars: 1 mm. MSRP6 was detected in ‘cloudy’ structures at the outside of Maurer’s clefts.
