Confocal laser scanning immunofluorescence
of P. vivax infected reticulocytes. Enriched P.
vivax infected reticulocytes were double labelled
with antisera to MSP-1 (detected using a CyTM3-conjugated
secondary antibody) and affinity purified VIR C
antibodies from patient 40 (detected using a FITC-conjugated
secondary antibody). Left panel from left to right:
anti-MSP-1; human anti-virC; DIC image; Hoe33342
stained nuclei; overlay; control using serum from
a naive human as the primary antiserum. A scale
