Figure 3From: Prognostic utility and characterization of cell-free DNA in patients with severe sepsisAgarose gel electrophoresis of cfDNA from severe sepsis patients. cfDNA was purified from 250 μl of plasma, as described in Materials and methods, and 16 μl was loaded per lane. Lanes 1 to 5, cfDNA from severe sepsis patients (survivors); lanes 6 and 7, cfDNA from severe sepsis patients (nonsurvivors); lane 8, 100-bp DNA ladder.Back to article page
