From: Quinine localizes to a non-acidic compartment within the food vacuole of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum

Figure 1

Quinine localizes with haemozoin in the parasite food vacuole. Asynchronous parasites of P Quinine localizes with haemozoin in the parasite food vacuole. Asynchronous parasites of P. falciparum strains 3D7 (one pfmdr1 copy) and Dd2 (four copies) were incubated with QN to determine its localization. The scale bar represents 5μm. White arrows point to haemozoin crystals in the trophozoite food vacuole. QN (blue) overlapped with haemozoin in both strains and thus localized to the food vacuole.
