GFP targeting by thioredoxin 2 in various stages of P. falciparum. (A) Early ring stage parasite showing Trx2-GFP targeting to the PV. (B) Early trophozoite stage parasite showing two fluorescent Trx2-GFP points lying directly under the parasite plasma membrane. (C) Late trophozoite/early schizont stage parasite showing numerous fluorescent Trx2-GFP points. (D) Schizont stage parasite showing numerous fluorescent Trx2-GFP points. (E) Schizont stage parasite showing a small number of observable fluorescent Trx2-GFP structures. Live cell imaging of erythrocytes infected with transgenic parasites.
