Relative amounts of parasite proteins in CC and AA cells.

The amounts of PfCRT (a parasite protein confined to the digestive vacuolar membrane) and KAHRP (a parasite protein located within knobs on the erythrocyte membrane) were estimated by immunoblot analysis and densitometry. After normalization of PfCRT signal in CC and AA cells to approximately 1.0 (1.11 ± 0.31, mean ± SD), the relative amounts of KAHRP were determined to be 1.05 ± 0.39. The data were calculated from 5 separate immunoblots.
