Furthermore, we show that potassium cyanide, a potent inhibitor of SFV induced polykaryon formation (4) acts at an early stage in the fusion process. The aim of this investigation was to clarify the early events in cell-cell fusion and the action of potassium cyanide an inhibitor of oxidative phosphorylation-which inhibits SFV-induced polykaryon formation [4] -on the fusion process. That this assumption holds true is depicted in Fig. 1A where a single, SFV infected cell was injected with Lucifer yellow 5 minutes after exposure to pH 6. Therefore, it can be concluded that potassium cyanide inhibits SFV-induced polykaryon formation at the level of membrane-membrane fusion. ./cache/cord-004831-lu62noak.txt ./txt/cord-004831-lu62noak.txt
