ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a process and device for fusing cells in which the cells are doped with magnetic particles and exposed to a nonhomogeneous magnetic field which permeates the fusion space in such a way that the doped cells collect close together, and then, in order to create the disruptions in the membrane structures of the adjacent cells, the cells are exposed either to the pulse of an electric field of at least the level of the breakdown voltage or to chemicals which cause the disruptions in the membrane structure such as polyethylene glycol, or to inactivated viruses which cause the disruptions in the membrane structure such as Sendai viruses.
