  2. Cell fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_fusion

    Also, standard PEG cell fusion is poorly reproducible and different types of cells have various fusion susceptibilities. This type of cell fusion is widely used for the production of somatic cell hybrids and for nuclear transfer in mammalian cloning. [8] Sendai virus induced cell fusion occurs in four different

  3. Cell–cell fusogens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellcell_fusogens

    Cellcell fusogens are proteins that promote plasma membrane fusion among different cells. To be considered a fusogen, it must be required for fusion, fuse unfamiliar membranes, and be present on the fusing membrane when need be. These cells include but are not limited too: gametes, trophoblasts, epithelial, and other developmental cells.

  4. Polyethylene glycol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene_glycol

    Polyethylene glycol (PEG; / ˌ p ɒ l i ˈ ɛ θ əl ˌ iː n ˈ ɡ l aɪ ˌ k ɒ l,-ˈ ɛ θ ɪ l-,-ˌ k ɔː l /) is a polyether compound derived from petroleum with many applications, from industrial manufacturing to medicine.

  5. Peg cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peg_cell

    A peg cell is a non-ciliated epithelial secretory cell within the uterine tube (oviduct or fallopian tube). [1] These cells represent one of three epithelial cell types found within the normal fallopian tube epithelium and only make up around 10% of the total number of cells. The other two cell types are ciliated columnar and intercalary cells. [1]

  6. Lipid bilayer fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_bilayer_fusion

    Fusion is involved in many cellular processes, particularly in eukaryotes since the eukaryotic cell is extensively sub-divided by lipid bilayer membranes. Exocytosis, fertilization of an egg by sperm and transport of waste products to the lysosome are a few of the many eukaryotic processes that rely on some form of fusion. Fusion is also an ...

  7. Somatic fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatic_fusion

    A generalized scheme for somatic cell hybridization may be described as follows. Appropriate human and mouse cells are selected and mixed together in the presence of inactivated Sendai virus or PEG to promote cell fusion. After a period of time, the cells (a mixture of man, mouse and 'hybrid' cells) are plated on a selective medium, e.g., HAT ...

    They discovered that the particles could change their shape to be either spheres or larger filaments (a slender shape) to better infect cells based on certain environmental conditions.

  9. Transfection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfection

    Protoplast fusion is a technique in which transformed bacterial cells are treated with lysozyme in order to remove the cell wall. Following this, fusogenic agents (e.g., Sendai virus, PEG, electroporation) are used in order to fuse the protoplast carrying the gene of interest with the target recipient cell.
