Fluorescent labeling of the apicoplast organelle in PfMev parasites and confirmation via co-localization.

A) Live fluorescence microscopy of the PfMev line expressing the signal sequence and transit peptide from ACP fused to SFG (green), the mitochondria was stained with MitoTracker (red), and nuclear DNA was stained with DAPI (blue). B) Immunofluorescence co-localization of aSFG with the apicoplast marker ACP, with α-ACP (green), α-GFP (red), with nuclear DNA stained with DAPI (blue) in fixed PfMev parasites. Images depict fields that are 10 microns long by 10 microns wide.
