The subcellular localization of LmBrf1 labeled with a PTP tag was determined by indirect immunofluorescence, as previously described [29 (link),39 (link)]. Parasites fixed with paraformaldehyde were stained for double indirect immunofluorescence analysis using a mixture of primary antibodies against Prot C (Delta Biolabs, Gilroy, CA, USA) (to detect LmBrf1-PTP) and LmNop56, followed by anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G (IgG) conjugated with Alexa Fluor 568 (red) and anti-mouse IgG coupled with Alexa Fluor 488 (green) secondary antibodies. DNA was stained with 4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (blue). Individual optical sections were obtained with a Nikon A1R+ STORM confocal microscope, analyzed, and prepared for presentation using the ZEN 2012 software (Blue edition).
