LC3B labeling of the parasitophorous vacuole membrane of Plasmodium berghei liver stage parasites depends on the V‐ATPase and ATG16L1
4 Apr 2024
Abstract excerpt
The protozoan parasite Plasmodium, the causative agent of malaria, undergoes an obligatory stage of intra-hepatic development before initiating a blood-stage infection. Productive invasion of hepatocytes involves the formation of a parasitophorous vacuole (PV) generated by the invagination of the host cell plasma membrane. Surrounded by the PV membrane (PVM), the parasite undergoes extensive replication. During...
