PF3D7_0207600 serine repeat antigen 5

Localization of Pf-SERA5 in the parasitophorous vacuole. Left image shows an infected red blood cell with schizont stage malaria parasites inside the parasitophorous vacuole. Right image, N-terminal antisera was used to localize Pf-SERA5 within a schizont parasitized red blood cell. Viewed under JEM-1230 transmission electron microscope (18,000× magnifcation). SERA5 conjugated gold particles were observed inside the parasitophorous vacuole. Scale-bar: b, 500 nm.
