PF3D7_0930300 merozoite surface protein 1

Processed Peripheral MSPs become part of an anchored complex late in schizogony. Immunofluorescence assays of Trophozoites (28-32 hr) in columns 1 (Phase + 488 + DAPI) and 2 (488 + DAPI), Schizonts (44-48 hr) in columns 3 (Phase + 488 + DAPI) and 4 (488 + DAPI) and PEMS (E64 treated) in columns 5 (Phase + 488 + DAPI) and 6 (488 + DAPI) were probed with monoclonal antibodies (green); 9A6 (anti-MSP1 p83), 9A12 (anti-MSP3), 2C12 (anti-MSP6), 7H12 (anti-MSPDBL1), 4A7 (anti-MSPDBL2) and 8F1 (anti-MSP7). EXP2 was used as an expression control probed with polyclonal rabbit anti-EXP2 antibodies (red). The nuclei of parasites are stained with DAPI (blue).
