Figure 1. Effect on cell fusion of antisense oligonucleotide to CD98.

BeWo cells expressing either H2B-GFP or Mit-DsRed2 were mixed, cultured and transfected without (•, ○) or with antisense (▾) or mismatch (▿) oligonucleotide. Cells were further cultured with 100 μM forskolin (○, ▾, ▿) or vehicle (•) for the time indicated. Cell fusion was analysed on a flow cytometer, as described in Methods. Data represent the means ± S.D. of three separate experiments.
