Immunofluorescence localization of the P. falciparum FIKK kinase Fk8 in human red blood cells infected by P. falciparum, showing co-localization of Fk8 (red channel) with a nuclear stain (DAPI, blue) indicative of the presence of parasite within a host cell. Two representative fields are shown. PfFk8 colocalizes with the nucleic acid stain DAPI.
