TABLE 3.
Frequencies of detection of EBV DNA with the coamplification systema
DNA source | No. of samples positive/no. tested for healthy blood donors that were:
|
|
---|---|---|
EBV seronegative | EBV seropositive | |
Whole blood | 0/1 (0) | 6/13 (46.2) |
PBMC | 0/1 (0) | 11/13 (84.6) |
B cells | 0/18 (0) | 14/14 (100) |
Results shown are for DNA extracted from the three sources listed. Detection frequencies (values are percentages) are shown in parentheses.
