PF3D7_0517800 apicortin

Downregulation of P. falciparum apicortin trans-expressed in HEK 293T cells by miR-150 and miR-197. Immunofluorescence assay images of transfected cells with PfApicortin in the green channel and tubulin (as control) in the red channel; individual cells are shown in magnified form. PfApicortin expression was reduced in cells transfected with miR-150 (P<0.001) or miR-197. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI. Scale bars: 5 μm. Immunofluorescence assays showed a significant reduction of fluorescence intensity of PfApicortin in miRNA-cotransfected cells compared with controls.
