Abstract
WE have recently achieved interphylum heterokaryon and hybrid formation from human (HeLa, clone 5 of S3, courtesy Dr Grace Leidy)1 and mosquito (Aedes aegyptae L., courtesy of the late Dr E. C. Suitor, Naval Medical Research Institute, Bethesda, Maryland)2 cell lines, using ultraviolet-inactivated Sendai virus to induce fusion3.
