PF3D7_1430200 plasmepsin IX

Immunofluorescence assay (IFA) results showing the localization of PfPMIX (modified PfPMIX locus to insert loxP sites and a C-terminal Ty epitope tag inDiCre expressing parasites) relative to the microneme proteins PfAMA1, PfCyRPA, and PfRhopH3. Scale bar, 2 mm. PfPMIXTy only partially colocalized with the secreted proteins PfCyRPA (cysteine-rich protective antigen) and PfRhopH3 (high–molecular weight rhoptry protein 3) but not with PfAMA1.
