MTRAP Is Expressed in Sexual Stages of P. falciparum
(A) Fluorescence microscopy with anti-PfMTRAP (green), anti-Pfg377 (red), and DAPI (blue) in wild-type P. falciparum sexual stages matured in vitro. Stages III, IV, and V gametocytes are shown. BF, brightfield. Scale bar, 5 μm. See also Figure S3.
(B) Fluorescence microscopy with anti-PfMTRAP (green), anti-Band3 (red), and DAPI (blue) in wild-type P. falciparum sexual stages matured in vitro. A gametocyte nonactivated (preactivation), a gametocyte activated for 30 s in vitro, and an egressed gamete after 600 s of activation in vitro are shown. BF, brightfield. Scale bar, 5 μm. See also Figure S7A.
