Upper panel: The localization of PfHly III was investigated by integrating the PfHly III-GFP fusion protein into the Dd2attb genome. The integration was done by transfecting the parasite with pLN-PfHly III and pINT. PCR analysis on transfected parasites using primers (GFP for, Hly III for and GFP rev) demonstrated the presence of pLN-PfHly III-GFP DNA. IFA with anti-His ab conjugated with alexa 488 showing Hly III coating the erythrocyte membrane. Lower panel: PfHly III-GFP localizes to the digestive vacuole of P. falciparum. Live fluorescence microscopy shows co-localization of 611 PfHly III-GFP with hemozoin. Scale bar, 7μm.
