Abstract
Cell fusion is induced between tumor cells that do not secrete a desired protein and mammalian cells or microcells derived from mammalian cells which secrete the desired protein, by substantially removing at least calcium ions to destabilize the cell membranes, adding a fusogen to the destabilized cells, and then adding back polyvalent cations.
