PF3D7_0930300 merozoite surface protein 1

Electron micrograph of a cryosection of freshly isolated merozoites reacted with a 1:1,500 dilution of rabbit antiserum against isolated 80 kDa merozoite antigen followed by labeling of the immune complex with protein-A/gold colloidal gold. Bar=0.5 mm. The 80 kDa ia a proteolytic product of MSP-1.
