D. PAP3 is expressed during schizogony and localizes at the apical pole. IFAs of DPAP3-mCh, DPAP3-HA, and DPAP3-GFP mature schizonts stained with anti-MSP1 (red), and anti-mCherry, -HA, or -GFP (green) antibodies (confocal microscopy). IFA of DPAP3-HA schizonts collected 39±48 h.p.i. and stained with anti-HA (green) and anti-AMA1 (microneme), anti-SUB1 (exoneme), anti-RON4 (rhoptry neck), or anti-RopH2 (rhoptry bulb) antibodies (all red). Obtained by confocal microscopy; single staining images. IFA of C2-arrested DPAP3-HA schizonts analyzed by SIM. Parasites were stained with anti-HA (green) and anti-SUB1, anti-EBA175, or anti-RON4 antibodies (all red).
