Summary
During a cytogenetic study of human spontaneous abortions, attempts were made to initiate cell lines from tissues of embryos with chromosomal anomalies.
The rate of success of these attempts and the life-span of the cell cultures is correlated with the development attained by these aneusomic embryos.
