PF3D7_0930300 merozoite surface protein 1

Immunolocalization of PfSEA-1. (A) Infected RBCs were probed with mouse anti–PfSEA-1 (green) and rabbit anti–MSP-1 (red) and counterstained with 4',6'-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) to label parasite nuclei. PfSEA-1 is detected only in schizont-infected RBCs. Scale bar for free merozoite images, 2 mm. Scale bar for remaining images, 10 mm. Anti–PfSEA-1 did not bind to free merozoites, rings, or late trophozoite–stage parasites, but did specifically recognize an antigen expressed by late schizont–infected RBCs.
