Fig 1. Sequence alignment of A. marginale MSP5 (MSP5m) and A. centrale MSP5 (MSP5c).
The transmembrane regions, excluded from tMSP5m and tMSP5c, are highlighted with horizontal gray bars. Asterisk (*) indicates positions having a conserved residue; colon (:) indicates conservation among groups of strongly similar characteristics; and period (.) indicates conservation among groups of weakly similar characteristics.
