Has anyone observed cell membrane fusion to huge cells with multiple nuclei after lentivirus transduction? how to avoid this?

08 November 2017 0 3K Report

I performed lentivirus transduction with my primary tumor cell (will form spheres) for 24 hrs and observed that the membrane of the sphere cells fused to huge cells. Anyone has same experience? How to avoid it? Thanks!
