Journal:	Science, 184 (135), 477-80
Abstract:	Amniotic fluid cell cultures were screened for mycoplasma contamination. Mycoplasma RNA’s were observed in more than half the cultures examined. Karyotypic analyses of these contaminated cell cultures revealed a significant increase in chromosomal aberrations. These studies emphasize the need for screening for mycoplasma in cultured amniotic cells.
