Abstract
A new technique for intracellular microinjection was developed with mammalian erythrocyte ghosts as syringes making use of the cell fusion of Sendai virus (HVJ). By gradual hemolysis hemoglobin was replaced by foreign substances without diminishing the fusion capacity of the erythrocyte membrane. HVJ-mediated cell fusion between the erythrocyte ghosts containing foreign substances and the target cells resulted in injections of substances into the cytoplasm of the target cells. With this relatively simple technique, definite amounts of substances were injected into single cells at high frequency.
