title: The preserving of chorionic villi before establishing long-term cell cultures for cytogenetic analysis.
abstract: 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 negative effect on the growth capacity of the mesenchymal cells.
