K. Hansson et al., THE PRESERVING OF CHORIONIC VILLI BEFORE ESTABLISHING LONG-TERM CELL-CULTURES FOR CYTOGENETIC ANALYSIS, Prenatal diagnosis, 15(11), 1995, pp. 1067-1069
The possibility of preserving intact chorionic villi in culture medium
for up to 7 days before establishing long-term cultures for prenatal
chromosome analysis is demonstrated. The preserving itself had no nega
tive effect on the growth capacity of the mesenchymal cells.
