Table 2. Sensitivity of probes to Prorocentrum donghaiense determined by the FISH assaysa.
Probes | DU0512A | DU0499S | DP0587A | DP0602A | DP0512A | DP0443A | DP1704A | DP0159A | DP0498A | PP0443A |
Sensitivity | +++ | − | − | ++ | + | +++ | − | − | − | ++++ |
Cells with signal intensity similar to the positive control were scored as “+++”; signal intensity equivalent to the negative control was scored as “−”; signal intensities clearly above the negative but below the positive control were scored as “++” or “+”, depending on the brightness relative to the positive and negative probes; signal intensity above the positive control was scored as “++++”.
