: WRONGO! One cell is now sufficient, using PCR (polymerase chain
: reaction) to amplify the sample by thousands of times, and then
: electrophoresis and autorad analysis.

True, but my understanding is that there are so few WBC's in urine that
you'd need a couple gallons of the stuff for it to matter--same way you
can't catch AIDS from somebody's urine.  True?
