Fig. 1 Representative polyacrylamide 10% w/v gel of PCR products obtained with primers specific for the conserved region of Leishmania mkDNA. Lanes: 1, reference strain of Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis IFLA/BR/1967/PH8; 2, reference strain of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis MHOM/BR/1975/M2903; 3 and 4, DNA from lesions of two patients with American cutaneous leishmaniasis; 5–12, restriction fragment length polymorphism fragments obtained after endonuclease digestion of the amplicons from lanes 1–4 with HaeIII (lanes 5–8) or ApaLI (lanes 9–12). MM, 25-bp molecular size ladder; NC, DNA-negative control.
