A technique for in situ karyotyping of primary amniotic fluid cell cultures
Abstract
A time proven technique is described for growing amniotic fluid cell cultures on cover glasses in Leighton tubes and for processing the mitotic cells in situ. Karyotyping the clones in situ eliminates most of the problems caused by somatic chromosome mutations in vitro and by maternal cell growth.
