Immunofluorescence studies with P. falciparum trophozoites that were treated with 10 μg/mL OZ277 for 2 h. (a) In immunofluorescence colocalization studies, the blood smears were fixed with 5% formaldehyde and 0.01% glutaraldehyde, permeabilized with 0.5% Triton-X-100, and blocked with 1% BSA in PBS for 1 h. The primary antibodies used were directly labeled OZH04-2/2 (Alexa 488, green signal) and GAPDH (Alexa 594, red signal). For both, the exposure time was 2 s. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue signal, exposure time of 0.05 s). The bottom row left shows the merge of OZH04-2/2, GAPDH, and DAPI and the bottom row right, the reference image (exposure of 1 s). Scale bar = 2 μm. (b) Same as (a), except that unlabeled primary antibodies OZH04-2/2 were used. After six washes with PBS, 20 μg/mL of the secondary antibody goat antimouse Alexa 488 (green signal) was incubated for 1 h at room temperature. The exposure time was 0.1 s. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue signal, exposure time of 0.05 s). The bottom row left shows the merge of OZH04-2/2 and DAPI, and the bottom row right shows the merge of OZH04-2/2 and the reference image (exposure of 1 s). Scale bar = 2 μm. (c) Same as (b), except that the secondary antibody used was goat antimouse Alexa 594 with an exposure of 1 s (red signal).
