The following antibodies were used for IFA and Western blotting at the indicated dilutions: rabbit polyclonal anti-HA SG77 (Thermo Fisher; 1:1,000 [WB]), mouse anti-PbHSP70 monoclonal antibody 4C9 (73 (link)) (1:1,000 [WB]), mouse anti-FLAG monoclonal antibody M2 (Sigma; 1:1,000 [IFA]), goat polyclonal anti-UIS4 (LS Biolabs LS-C204260; 1:1,000 [IFA]), and rabbit polyclonal anti-LISP2 (1:1,000 [IFA]). Anti-LISP2 antiserum was generated by GenScript against the peptide NGQKGNVDEERKSM\, located between the repeat region and 6-Cys domain, a portion of LISP2 previously shown to localize to the PV but not observed to enter the host cell (39 (link)). Purified antiserum labeled the parasite periphery in immunofluorescence assays, and loss of signal following EXP2 knockdown provided validation of specificity.
