FIG. 2.

Determination of the analytical sensitivity of previously published nested PCR assays for B. burgdorferi (11) and A. phagocytophilum (17). The results from the amplification of 10-fold serial dilutions ranging from 125 to 1.25 × 10−3 A. phagocytophilum-infected HL-60 cells (upper lanes 1 to 6) and from 5 × 105 to 5 B. burgdorferi spirochetes (lower lanes 1 to 6) are shown on a 2% agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide. Lanes 7 are negative controls, and lanes M contain phage φX174 DNA digested with HaeIII.
