FIGURE 1.

C4S-adherent, but not non-adherent, P. falciparum parasites express PFB0080c protein. Western blot analysis of proteins from 3D7 C4S-selected (3D7-CSA) and non-selected (3D7-NS) parasites was performed using mouse anti-PFB0080c antiserum. A, the antiserum of PFB0080c recognized a band of PFB0080c at the expected size of ∼55 kDa only in C4S-selected parasites. B, the parasite protein Pf39 served as a loading control. The molecular mass and the electrophoretic mobility of standard proteins are shown.
