title: Scanning electron microscopical observations on electrically fused human lymphocytes.
abstract: The paper describes scanning electron microscopic observations of electric field induced fusions of human lymphocytes. The cells were fused by application of short-time (20 microseconds) field pulses of 5 kV/cm after dielectrophoretic collection at about 1.2 MHz and 750 V/cm. Electron microscopy clearly demonstrates membrane fusion and the stability of initial stages of fusion.
