Poly(ethylene glycol), surface potential and cell fusion.
Poly(ethylene glycol), glycerol and dimethyl sulphoxide markedly decrease the surface potentials of monolayers of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. This finding is discussed in relation to the properties of hen erythrocytes undergoing fusion induced by poly(ethylene glycol).
