Localization and distribution of KAHRP in erythrocytes infected with P. falciparum. Erythrocytes were resealed without (A), with 40 mM GST (B), or with 40 mM GST-aR4 Spectrin (C). The resealed erythrocytes were infected with P. falciparum and cultured for 48 h. The localization of KAHRP was detected by immunostaining with anti-KAHRP antibody. Green, KAHRP; red: malaria DNA stained by TOPO-3.
