Figure 5From: A method for visualizing surface-exposed and internal PfEMP1 adhesion antigens in Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytesSuccessive confocal optical sections focussing through surface labelled, intact P. falciparum cells. Serial confocal optical sections, taken in 150 nanometer steps, moving through the live P. falciparum (FCR3/BeWo) infected erythrocyte, surface-labelled with fluorescent secondary antibodies recognising the anti-VAR2CSA antibodies, in the presence of the membrane permeable nuclear dye ethidium bromide.Back to article page
