Case of acute hepatitis E with concomitant signs of autoimmunity

Figure 2 Electrophoresis with agarose gel 2%. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for hepatitis E virus (HEV) RNA from the liver specimen was performed using a First Strand cDNA synthesis kit for RT-PCR from Roche Diagnostics (Indianapolis, United States) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This figure demonstrates the positive detection of HEV RNA with compatible strands 5 and 3. 1: Marker 100 bp (Promega); 2: White amplification; 3: Positive control for HEV RNA; 4: Negative control for HEV RNA; 5: Liver biopsy sample (HT370).
