| Abstract: | Rabbit erythrocyte ghost (REG) membranes and human erythrocyte ghosts (HEG) were aligned into contact by dielectrophoresis and fused with an electric pulse in REG + REG, HEG + HEG, and REG + HEG combinations. REG + HEG fusion yields were approximately midway between fusion yields for REG + REG and HEG + HEG over a wide range of pulse characteristics. |
