Rapid and sensitive lentivirus vector-based conditional gene expression assay to monitor and quantify cell fusion activity.
Cell-to-cell fusion is involved in multiple fundamental biological processes. Prominent examples include osteoclast and giant cell formation, fertilization and skeletal myogenesis which involve macrophage, sperm-egg and myoblast fusion, respectively. Indeed, the importance of cell fusion is undersco...
