Figure 5

(a) Methylation specific PCR (MSP) result for chromosome 2p at passage 1 (start) and passage 10 (end). M and U indicate amplification from methylation and unmethylation sequence-specific primers. Water indicates MSP result with no template DNA (negative control). Densitometry of the photographs is shown in B. (c) Spearman’s correlation revealed a statistically significant correlation ( = 0.668; ) between telomere length and the level of methylation.
