Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The technique of electric pulse-induced cell fusion (electro-fusion) was used to obtain heterokaryons between normal human lymphoblasts (HSC93) and mouse leukemic lymphoblasts (MCN151). The two types of cells were brought into contact in the cell suspension by dielectrophoresis with an alternating electric field (0.8 kV/cm, 100 kHz) in the presence of calcium ions and pronase E. Cell fusion was induced by giving two successive electric pulses (3.3 and 5 kV/cm, 10 microsec). Prior treatment of human (but not mouse) lymphoblasts with neuraminidase improved fusion efficiency. Differential staining of the two types of cells with Janus Green and Neutral Red showed that about 40% of the viable fused cells underwent heterokaryonic fusion. We concluded that electrofusion is an efficient method for obtaining heterokaryons from human and mouse lymphoblasts.
