Polyethylene-glycol-mediated cybrid formation: High-efficiency techniques and cybrid formation without enucleation (original) (raw)
Abstract
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) can be used to promote the fusion of enucleated cytoplasts from chloramphenicol (CAP)-resistant mouse cells with intact cells, resulting in the formation of viable cybrids. The techniques are simple and highly efficient, yielding up to one viable cybrid per 20 intact cells fused. It also seems that PEG can be used to induce cybrid formation without the necessity of prior enucleation of the CAP-resistant cells.
