Figure 2. A) reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) specific for H5 gene band (358 bp) of avian influenza H5N1 that was recovered from our patient from nasopharyngeal aspirates by using H5-1/H5-2 primer. Lane A, molecular standard; lane B, H5 band isolated from our patient (358 bp); lane C, negative control; lane D, positive control. B) RT-PCR specific for H5 gene band (229 bp) of avian influenza (H5N1) that was recovered from our patient from nasopharyngeal aspiration by using H5-1456/H5-1685 primer. Lane A, molecular standard; lane B, positive control; lane C, H5 band isolated from our patient (229 bp).
