Figure 2. Characterization of the FIKK-KO parasites.

Figure 2

A. The adhesion phenotypes of the two KO parasite lines were investigated. The FIKK7.1- and FIKK12-KO parasites and wild type FCR3 were selected on cells expressing either CSA (white bar) or CD36 (black bar), after 3 rounds of selection all the three parasite lines showed similar binding densities on BeWo (CSA) or CHO745-CD36 cells. B. Cellular localization of A-type Rifin, Stevor and Surfin 4.2 in FIKK-KO and wild type parasites. Antigen was detected using specific anti-Rifin, Surfin or Stevor antibodies by immunofluorescence assay.
