Expression analysis of MSP3-like ORFs. IFA analysis of acetone-fixed thin smear of the blood stage parasites, using the same antibodies used for Western blot analysis, shows merozoite surface staining. The size-bar drawn in the lower right-hand corner of each microscopic field represents 5 mm. Antibodies affinity-purified against the unique region of MSP3.5 did not react to parasite proteins in IFA.Singh S, Soe S, Weisman S, Barnwell JW, Pérignon JL, Druilhe P.

Immunofluorescence detection of MSP-636 in acetone-fixed P. falciparum T9:96 schizonts. Panels A to C show the reaction with antibodies raised to a recombinant fusion protein containing the last 45 amino acids of MSP-6; panels D, E, and F show the reaction of MSP-1 specific mAbs X509, 1E1 and 8A12, respectively. MSP-636 is the processed product of the precursor merozoite surface protein 6 (MSP-6). Results show that antibodies bound to antigen at the parasite surface or in the parasitophorous vacuole within schizonts, with a pattern indistinguishable from that of antibodies to MSP-1.Trucco C, Fernandez-Reyes D, Howell S, Stafford WH, Scott-Finnigan TJ, Grainger M, Ogun SA, Taylor WR, Holder AA.

Processed Peripheral MSPs become part of an anchored complex late in schizogony. Immunofluorescence assays of Trophozoites (28-32 hr) in columns 1 (Phase + 488 + DAPI) and 2 (488 + DAPI), Schizonts (44-48 hr) in columns 3 (Phase + 488 + DAPI) and 4 (488 + DAPI) and PEMS (E64 treated) in columns 5 (Phase + 488 + DAPI) and 6 (488 + DAPI) were probed with monoclonal antibodies (green); 9A6 (anti-MSP1 p83), 9A12 (anti-MSP3), 2C12 (anti-MSP6), 7H12 (anti-MSPDBL1), 4A7 (anti-MSPDBL2) and 8F1 (anti-MSP7). EXP2 was used as an expression control probed with polyclonal rabbit anti-EXP2 antibodies (red). The nuclei of parasites are stained with DAPI (blue).Lin CS, Uboldi AD, Epp C, Bujard H, Tsuboi T, Czabotar PE, Cowman AF.
