Neurocysticercosis Diagnosed by Taenia solium PCR on Brain Biopsy

Figure 3

Amplicons from Taenia solium-specific PCR (pTsol9 repeat element) after capillary electrophoresis. Lanes NT, NP, and M represent no template, negative patient, DNA size marker. Lane BT represents brain tissue and shows multiple bands of ≈120 bp, 280 bp, and 440 bp, corresponding to the amplification of 1, 2, and 3 repeat unit(s) of the pTsol9 element, respectively.
