Identification of ΔNcROP5 complementary strain, iΔNcROP5. (A) RT-PCR analysis of NcROP5 gene transcription. (B) Western blotting analysis of Nc-1, ΔNcROP5 and iΔNcROP5 tachyzoites. The expected band was detected by the anti-HA monoclonal antibody and anti-rNcROP5 polyclonal antibody. NcActin was used as the control. (C) IFA analysis of iΔNcROP5 tachyzoites. The HA-tagged ROP5 and ROP5 proteins (green) were localized at the anterior end of the parasites, and HA co-localized with ROP5. The shapes of parasites were stained with anti-NcSRS2 (red), and the nuclear DNA was stained with Hoechst (blue). Scale bar, 1.0 μm.
