Figure 1From: Cytochrome oxidase subunit 2 gene allows simultaneous detection and typing of Trypanosoma rangeli and Trypanosoma cruziCOII gene assayed from Trypanosoma cruzi, Trypanosoma rangeli and other trypanosomatids (Table1). A) COII gene amplification products from T. cruzi (lines 1 to 6), T. rangeli (lines 7 to 23); B) RFLP pattern obtained by Alu I digestion of the cytochrome oxidase subunit II (COII) gene from T. cruzi (DTU-I to DTU-VI) strains and T. rangeli (KP1+ and KP1-) resolved in 6% polyacrylamide gel stained with silver nitrate. MW = 100 bp DNA Ladder (Invitrogen), NC = Negative control (No DNA added).Back to article page
