Trypsin sensitivity of PfEMP1 in FCR3Pfvap1Δ parasites. Synchronized FCR3 wild type and FCR3Pfvap1Δ parasites (30–35 h) were selected by gel floatation prior to trypsin. Parasites were treated with either 0, 10 or 100 μg ml−1 trypsin. The Triton X-100 insoluble/SDS soluble protein fraction was collected and separated by SDS-PAGE. A guinea pig anti-ATS antibody was used to detect PfEMP1. Treatment with trypsin results in the detection of an additional band (arrow) that represents the trypsin-resistant intracellular ATS domain. The membrane was then probed with the Hsp70 monoclonal antibody MAb1C11 as a loading control (bottom lane).
