PRP1 co-localizes principally with micronemes.
3-D reconstruction
of deconvolved fluorescence light microscope images of isolated, double-labeled
tachyzoites. Overlap shown in yellow. The methodology separates
two closely positioned organelles.
(A) Micronemes
(MIC3 antibody) green and rhoptries (ROP2 antibody) red
demonstrate organelle separation.
(B) Dense
granules (GRA1 antibody) green and PRP1 (I-2 antibody) red.
(C) Rhoptries
(ROP2/3/4 antibody) green and PRP1 (I-2 antibody) red.
(D) Micronemes
(MIC3 antibody) green and PRP1 (I-2 antibody) red show
co-localization.
Each image consists
of multiple superimposed translucent planes, (A) 24 planes,
(B) 25 planes, (C) 20 planes and (D) 21 planes,
with a z-value of 100 nm. The nucleus is marked in blue (DAPI)
and not deconvolved. The scale bar represents 2 mm.
