Fig. 2From: Sensitive real-time PCR detection of Plasmodium falciparum parasites in whole blood by erythrocyte membrane protein 1 gene amplificationAnalytical sensitivity of Pf18S and PfEMP1 primers for serially diluted parasite genomic DNA (gDNA). A linear regression identifying the limit of detection for each primer set at the cutoff threshold of the assay. a The 18S primers detected as little as 0.07 pg. b PfEMP1 primers could detect 0.01 pg of parasite gDNABack to article page
