Figure 2. Cytosolic developing Δp52&p36 P. berghei parasites lack an apparent PVM.

Figure 2

A) MSP-1 expression on cytosolic wildtype and Δp52&p36 P. berghei parasites 52 hours post infection (Bar  = 10 µm). B) UIS-4 and HSP70 expression on cytosolic Δp52&p36 and wildtype P. berghei parasites at 6–52 hours post infection (Bar  = 10 µm). C) Electron microscopic analysis of cytosolic wildtype (upper row) and Δp52&p36 (lower row) parasites, 32 hours post hepatocyte infection. The inset boxes show higher magnifications of the boxed areas within the overview images. IMC, inner membrane complex; Ly lysosome; NE, Nuclear envelope; PPM, parasite plasma membrane; PV, parasitophorous vacuole; PVM, parasitophorous vacuole membrane; Rh, rhoptry (Bar  = 10 µm).
