(A) Schematic of the endogenous C-terminal tagging with mCherry. Constructs were integrated into parasite genomic DNA through a single crossover homologous recombination event. Primers used for the genotyping are indicated as grey arrows. (B) Diagnostic PCR with gDNA of P. berghei wild-type parasites (top panel) and transgenic parasites obtained after transfection (bottom panel) confirmed the integration of the linearized vector into the genome. (C) PBANKA_0524300-mCherry, PBANKA_0623100-mCherry, and PBANKA_1400700-mCherry are detected in punctate structures in the cytoplasm of fixed infected erythrocytes.
