The cellular localization of PfNF-YB was examined in ring, trophozoite and schizont stages of intra-erythrocytic cycle. PfNF-YB was localized at both cytoplasm and nucleus. Immunofluorescence was carried out with the anti-PfNF-YB antibody (green), and nuclear DNA was stained with TOPRO-3 (blue) and the RBC membrane bordering with WGA (red). The confocal images exhibited a specific staining to parasites and displayed localization in both cytoplasm and nucleus in all stages. Scale bar = 5 mm.
