Blood Cell Telomere Length Is a Dynamic Feature (original) (raw)
Figure 5
XpYp telomere end distributions in single telomere length analysis (STELA) (6 lanes/sample).
A. Comparison between blood donors 5 and 2 (control), showing similar patterns as the results from RT-PCR and Southern blot. The 3 month data for Donor 2 could not be included in the STELA, due to a lack of DNA after the Southern blot analysis. B. The telomere distribution in the samples from Donor 5, showing a considerable decrease in heterogeneity and a loss of the largest telomeres.
