NBPXa and DBPα are closely localised prior to egress but exhibit distinct localisations upon secretion. a Image of mNeonGreen (mNG) tagged NBPXa and DBPα schizonts. Scale bars = 5 μm. b Immunofluorescence assay showing HA tagged NBPXa, AMA-1, and RON2 (red), detected in schizonts using an anti-HA. MC3is expressed across the IDC and localizes to HP1-independent nuclear foci
