ABSTRACT:
A method of incorporating human CD4 or glycophorin into a red blood cell membrane is provided comprising exposing the red blood cell to an electric field while the cell is suspended in an electro-insertion medium in the presence of a buffered solution (suspension) of the proteins. These proteins bear a hydrophobic membrane spanning sequence. The resultant cell of the electro-insertion is then contacted with a resealing medium.
