Figure 3: Association of gABCG2 with lipids.

(a) Fluorescence microscopy of formaldehyde-fixed GFP-tagged gABCG2 gametocytes labelled with Nile red (top) or neutral lipid (bottom) stains. The nuclei were visualized with DAPI (blue). (b) 3D-SIM of a representative BODIPY-TR-ceramide-labeled gametocyte. A maximum intensity projection of a stack is displayed. The arrow indicates a lipid-rich structure. RBC, red blood cell membrane.
