Human–Mosquito Somatic Cell Hybrids induced by Ultraviolet-inactivated Sendai Virus

Nature New Biology volume 229, pages 119–121 (1971)Cite this article

Abstract

WE have recently achieved interphylum heterokaryon and hybrid formation from human (HeLa, clone 5 of S3, courtesy Dr Grace Leidy)1 and mosquito (Aedes aegyptae L., courtesy of the late Dr E. C. Suitor, Naval Medical Research Institute, Bethesda, Maryland)2 cell lines, using ultraviolet-inactivated Sendai virus to induce fusion3.
