From: Early Lyme disease with spirochetemia - diagnosed by DNA sequencing
Gel electrophoresis of nested PCR products of DNA from the plasma of a patient suspicious of Lyme disease (M09-2475). The sample was amplified by the TEC1 and LD2 primers and one major band had the molecular weight indistinguishable from the B. burgdorferi DNA control. P = B. burgdorferi 16S rDNA nested PCR amplicon control; molecular size 293 base pairs. M09-2475 = Nested PCR products of questionable DNA isolated from a patient's plasma. The nested PCR was performed in triplicate to ensure technical accuracy. M = Molecular ruler. N = Negative control to rule out reagent contamination.
