Stage-specific expression of Plasmodium berghei protein phosphatase 5 (PbPP5). (A) Western blot of whole cell lysates of different stage PbPP5-GFP parasites with monoclonal anti-GFP antibody. (B) Western blot of wild type (WT) parasite cell lysates with anti-PbPP5 antisera. R, ring stage; T, trophozoite stage; S, schizont stage; G, gametocyte stage; O, ookinete stage. The positions of the pre-stained molecular mass markers are indicated. Western blots with mouse anti-PbHSP70 antisera or rabbit polyclonal anti-GAPDH antibody is shown as loading controls. HSP, heat shock protein.
