Fig. 2From: Cytomegalovirus viral load within blood increases markedly in healthy people over the age of 70 yearsCMV viral load is detectable in CD14 positive monocytes. CMV viral load is detectable within CD34+ haemopoietic cells and is focused within ‘classical’ CD14+ monocytes. DNA from CD34+, CD14 + CD16-, CD14 + CD16+ and CD14-CD16+ populations were used to detect CMV viral load using ddPCR. a Representation of flow plots used for selecting monocyte populations based on CD14+ and CD16+ antibody staining. b Representation of flow plots used for selecting CD34+ cells. c The frequency of detection of CMV viral load was compared between the different subpopulationsBack to article page
