Figure 2

Representative morphology of parasite lines FCBC101F and 3D7L272F.

(a) Appearance of enlarged FVs in fixed FCBC101F parasites (left panel), when compared with parental FCB parasites of similar developmental stages (right panel). (b) Images of live FCBC101F and FCB trophozoite-stage parasites, using bright-field and dark-field microscopy (left and right panels, respectively). (c) Appearance of enlarged FVs in fixed 3D7L272F parasites (left panel), when compared with parental 3D7 parasites of similar developmental stages (right panel). The diameter of a RBC is ~7 μm.
