Fig. 3. Negative-strand-specific RTPCR of cell cultures. Cells were infected with GBV-C/HGV-containing serum and harvested at different time-points post-inoculation. RNA was extracted, cDNA was synthesized by using the negative-strand-specific primer (GBO), nested PCR was performed and the products were visualized in ethidium bromide-stained agarose gels. The PCR product has a predicted size of 207 bp.
