Figure 2From: Development of a nanoparticle-assisted PCR (nanoPCR) assay for detection of mink enteritis virus (MEV) and genetic characterization of the NS1 gene in four Chinese MEV strains Evaluation of the sensitivities of nanoPCR (a) and conventional PCR (b) for the detection of MEV NS1 plasmid DNA. Lane M: Low DNA Mass Ladder (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, USA); lanes 1–9: different MEV NS1 plasmid DNA copies subjected to nanoPCR and conventional PCR (8.75 × 108, 8.75 × 107, 8.75 × 106, 8.75 × 105, 8.75 × 104, 8.75 × 103, 8.75 × 102, 8.75 × 101, and 8.75 × 100 copies/μL, respectively); lane 10: blank.Back to article page
