Function of Cytoplasmic Fibers in Syncytia
Function of Cytoplasmic Fibers in Syncytia is a scholarly work by David S Roos, published in 1982 in ''Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology''. The main subjects of the publication include cell-cell fusion, syncytium, biology, BHK-21, cytoplasm, organelle, heterokaryon, cell culture, connective tissue disease, cell biology, giant cell, virus, virology, cell, and multinucleate cell. Giant syncytia containing hundreds to thousands of nuclei are commonly observed in monolayer cultures of baby hamster kidney cells (BHK-21) after infection with a paramyxovirus, simian virus 5 (SV5) (Compans et al. 1966; Holmes and Choppin 1966, 1968).
