Plasmodium berghei Δp52&p36 parasites develop independent of a parasitophorous vacuole membrane in Huh-7 liver cells.

Plasmodium berghei Δp52&p36 parasites develop independent of a parasitophorous vacuole membrane in Huh-7 liver cells.

The proteins P52 and P36 are expressed in the sporozoite stage of the murine malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei.
