Figure 1.
Real time polymerase chain reaction protocol 1 using serial 10 fold dilutions of control SV40 DNA from 10−4 pg down to 10−8 pg. Amplification occurred at 10−4 pg at 29 cycles, for 10−5 pg at 32 cycles, and for 10−6 pg (approximately one virus copy) at 34 cycles. There was no amplification for 10−7 or 10−8 pg.
