Fig. 7

Similar quantities of DNA with comparable quality were obtained from PBMC and immune cell subsets following either Ficoll or CPT protocol of PBMC isolation. a The mean amount of DNA extracted per cell and (b) the mean of the 260/280 ratios, as measure of DNA quality, were compared between DNA preparations obtained from total PBMC and immune cell subsets prepared from PBMC isolated by Ficoll and CPT methods from 6 healthy donors. There were no significant differences (P < 0.05) in the amount of DNA recovered and in its quality between the two methods of PBMC isolation. Error bars indicate standard error of the mean
