Immunofluorescence staining to detect Hsp40, HSP70, HSP90 and HOP was conducted on trophozoite stage P. falciparum-infected erythrocytes. Panels show from left to right a DIC image, distribution of protein of interest (POI), nuclear stain (Hoechst), merge and overlay (localization relative to the parasite nucleus and phase-contrast image). All proteins showed cytosolic localization.
