Nuclear transport by Gal4p in P. falciparum. A) P. falciparum 3D7 strain carrying the pGal4-GFP construct was studied by fluorescent microscopy. Three erythrocytic stages of P. falciparum, ring, trophozoite and schizont, are shown in four different panels of bright field, DAPI, GFP and DAPI merged with GFP. B) a similar experiment was performed with the K1CB1 strain. A trophozoite-stage K1CB1 parasite is shown here.
