Plasmodial RNAs are contained inside the EVs. (a) The RNAs are protected from proteinase K digestion, EVs were treated with proteinase K (5 mg/ml, close symbols) or untreated (open symbol) at 55 °C. At times indicated aliquots were removed and the RNA was isolated and the expression of (a) MAL5_18S, (b) 28 S rRNAs, (c) PFA0110w, was analyzed by qPCR. The mean + /− s.d. of one representative experiments of three is shown. (d) Elution profile of conditioned media collected from iRBC culture as measured by absorbance at 280 nm. Points represent the mean +/− s.d. of three experiments performed in triplicate. (e) Fractions from conditioned media were assayed for (e) PFA0110w, (f) MAL5_18S, (g) 28 S rRNA, (h) PF11_0381a and (i) miR451 using absolute quantification by qPCR. The mean + /− s.d. of one representative experiment is shown (n = 3).
