STEVOR STEVOR

Immunofluorescence assay on CS2 (upper panels) versus CS2ΔPTP1 parasites (lower panels). Immunofluorescence assay probed with a-PfEMP1 antibody (A), a-STEVOR antibody (B), a -SBP 1 antibody (C) and a -REX 1 antibody (D). Scale bar: 1 μm; same size of ROI in each image. In CS2ΔPTP1 the architecture of MC was disrupted showing large aggregated globular structures. SBP1 and REX1 were located on these structures reflecting the results obtained by IFA.
