Title Improved method for producing neuronal hybrids using emetine and actinomycin D.
Journal Brain Res
Abstract We modified the method of somatic cell fusion for neurons to improve the efficiency of hybrid production. C1300 neuroblastoma cells were incubated with emetine and actinomycin D before fusion. After fusion between C1300 cells and adult mouse dorsal root ganglia neurons with polyethyleneglycol, we were able to select the hybrids from non-fused cells. We obtained hybrid clones at high efficiency (7.2 clones/10(4) neurons).
