FIG. 5.

Size distributions of CMV DNA targets in serum (A and B), EDTA-plasma (C and D), and whole blood (E and F) from a renal transplant recipient (recipient B) for the 578-bp (A, C, and E) and 138-bp (B, D, and F) amplicons. The amounts of DNA applied to the gel corresponded to 12.5 μl of whole blood and 50 μl of plasma or serum. Slice 1 represents the slot in the agarose gel. Bars indicate the number of copies of CMV DNA molecules per agarose slice. Lines represent the lengths of the DNA fragments from which CMV DNA was amplified.
