...Jason H. Pomerantz; Semanti Mukherjee; Adam T. Palermo; Helen M. Blau Fusion of mammalian cells to form stable, non-dividing heterokaryons results in nuclear reprogramming without the exchange of genetic material. In this report, we show that reprogramming in somatic cell heterokaryons involves...

...Mathias Bergman; Nils Ringertz ABSTRACT Expression of erythro-specific chick genes was studied in heterokaryons prepared by fusing chick erythrocytes (CE) with rat myoblasts. In this type of heterokaryon the inactive erythrocyte nucleus takes up nuclear proteins of myoblast origin and undergoes...

...Mathias Bergman; Ulf Nyman; Nils Ringertz; Ingvar Pettersson ABSTRACT Fusion of terminally differentiated chick erythrocytes (CE) with transcriptionally active rat myoblasts results in heterokaryons in which the CE nuclei undergo reactivation of RNA synthesis and splicing. In order to analyze...
