Abstract
Mammalian somatic-cell hybrids can be formed in a direct and precise manner by microsurgery. Fusion of cells brought about in this way permits selection of specific, identifiable cells of the same or different types or species and their fusion at telophase.
Keywords: hybridization, HeLa, fibroblasts
