Figure 1From: Evidence for in vitro and in vivo expression of the conserved VAR3 (type 3) plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1VAR3 on the surface of Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytes. Reactivity with anti-VAR3 antibodies of live P. falciparum 3D7 and IT/FCR3 before and after antibody selection with a rabbit antiserum against recombinant DBLα/ζ-DBLε of PFI1820w shown as (a) number of events/P. falciparum-infected erythrocytes vs. FITC flourescence intensity by flow cytometry, (b) DIC shadow-cast image with the fluorescence image superimposed and (c) the fluorescence image alone on serorepresentative infected erythrocytes in confocal microscopy.
