FIG 2.
Detection of both EEHV2 and EEHV3 DNAs in lung nodules from two culled adult South African elephants by PCR amplification. Shown is agarose gel electrophoretic separation of ethidium bromide-stained first-round PCR products obtained by using EEHV2-specific POL primers LGH6525 and LGH7440 (500 bp) (lanes 1 to 4) and EEHV3- and EEHV4-specific TER primers LGH6707 and LGH6708 (310 bp) (lanes 5 to 7). Lanes: 1, AfLng47; 2, AfLng54; 3, Asian elephant EEHV1A case NAP11 heart; 4, negative-control African elephant vestibular lesion biopsy specimen; 5, AfLng47; 6, Asian elephant EEHV1A case NAP11 heart; 7, AfLng54. Three size marker lanes contain multimerized 123-bp ladders.
