Figure 2. The left side panel shows the weak positive dot blot hybridization obtained on the patient's CSF using CMV reactive primers and probe in a low stringency PCR assay. The right side panel shows the negative result using HSV reactive primers. The positive controls were 1:100 dilutions of cultures infected with CMV and HSV, respectively. Uninfected cells were used as a source of negative DNA. The HSV primers and low stringency PCR conditions are as described [3]. Return to article
