How can I test whether my cells are infected with mycoplasma?
Several different methods for the detection of mycoplasmas have been described, like e.g., cultures on agar, in liquid or semi-solid media, staining with DAPI, mycoplasma-specific antibodies, biochemical methods, and PCR-based assays. PCR-based detection is very sensitive, detects all mycoplasma species that occur in cell cultures and is completed within 3-5 hours.
