Double staining immunofluorescence pictures obtained from the transgenic parasite line 3D7/HP1-HA expressing HA-tagged PfHP1. Cells were simultaneously probed with aHA and aPfCENH3 antibodies. PfCENH3 foci do not overlap with PfHP1-marked chromosome end clusters. GFP live fluorescence and aPfCENH3 6 antibody (green), aHA antibody (red), DAPI nuclear stain (blue), DIC (differential interference contrast). Scale bars are 5 μm long.
