title: AdoP assay detection of mycoplasmal contamination in biological media.
abstract: The AdoP assay has been shown to be reliable in controlling the absence of mycoplasmas in filtered sera. We therefore compared its effectiveness with that of other tests in the detection of animal cell contamination by mycoplasmas.
