Nuclei (minicells) prepared by cytochalasin-induced enucleation of rat myoblasts (L6) were fused with inactivated Sendai virus to preparations of cytoplasms from mouse fibroblasts (A9). Cell colonies arising from such fusion mixtures were examined 5 days after fusion. In the presence of virus a new type of colony was obtained. The cells in these colonies were derived from reconstituted cells capable of undergoing repeated cell divisions.

通过细胞松弛素诱导大鼠成肌细胞（L6）去核制备的细胞核（微细胞），与仙台病毒灭活后与小鼠成纤维细胞（A9）的细胞质制剂融合。融合混合物产生的细胞集落于融合后5天进行检查。在病毒存在的情况下，获得了一种新型集落。这些集落中的细胞来源于能够进行反复细胞分裂的重构细胞。
