PF3D7_0631900 stevor PIR protein

Schematic representation of STEVOR recombinant proteins overexpressed in the Full-Ty1 (PFF1550w stevor gene) and in the Trunc-Ty1 (Ty1-tagged copy of PFF1550w truncated for the cytoplasmic domain) lines. D, G. Immunofluorescence analysis of stage III GIE (D) and asexual stages (G) from the Full-Ty1 and the Trunc-Ty1 lines. Infected erythrocytes were stained with anti-Ty1 antibodies followed by anti-mouse Alexa 488-conjugated IgG. Pictures were taken under identical exposure conditions. The bars represent 2 μm.
