Immunolabeling control of blood stage parasite samples. Non-immunized mouse sera (NMS) were used to immunolabel fixed samples of trophozoites, schizonts and mature gametocytes (GC) as well as of activated gametocytes (aGC) at 30 min post-activation (green). Schizonts were visualized by labelling with rabbit anti-MSP1 antisera and gametocytes were visualized by rabbit anti-Pfs230 antisera (red); nuclei were highlighted by Hoechst stain (blue). Bar, 5 µm. Results shown are representative for three independent experiments.
