Immunoelectron microscopic localization of PfHSP60. A) Section of trophozoite showing an acristate mitochondrion (M), composed of inner and outer membranes (arrow); E erythrocyte; N- nucleus. B) A mitochondrion is associated with gold particles indicating the localization of Hsp60 molecules. C) Details of a mitochondrion with gold particles. Thin sections of Epon or LR White embedded parasites were reacted first with a-Hsp60 Abs and then with 15 nm gold labeled goat anti-mouse IgG.
