Visualizing surface Var 4 PfEMP1 at different stages of parasite development. Surface and internal staining of Var4-type PfEMP1 antigens on the erythrocyte surface and within the parasitized cell. 3D7 infected erythrocytes are shown at three different stages of development with different amounts of surface labelled Var4 PfEMP1 (green Alexa®488 fluorescence). Red Alexa®568 fluorescence indicates intracellular reaction with the anti-PfEMP1 antisera. Nuclei are stained with DAPI. Scale bar 5 μM.
