Rapid test for early detection of mycoplasma contamination of the continuous cell line J774.2

Abstract

The authors describe a rapid, simple and inexpensive method for the routine testing of mycoplasma contamination of the continuous mouse macrophage-like cell line J774.2 using specific anti-mouse monoclonal antibodies (antiCD14, antiCD80) and flow cytometry.
