Rac1 activation state in infected erythrocytes. (A) IFA of an asynchronous parasite culture hybridized with anti-Rac1 (R1-ab#3) and anti-Rac1/GTP (R1-ab#6). BF: Bright field. Nuclei are stained with DAPI. Red arrows point at PVMs and white arrows point at non-parasitized erythrocytes. Scale bar: 10 µm. (B) Histogram showing the ratio between PVM and non-infected erythrocyte fluorescence, respectively with the anti-Rac1 (R1-ab#3) and the anti-Rac1/GTP (R1-ab#6). Student’s T-test: P < 10−13.
