Influence of the fusogenic agent polyethylene glycol on attachment of Mycoplasma pneumoniae to other cells

G Prakash et al. Infect Immun. 1981 May.

Abstract

The effect of fusogenic agents on the interaction of Mycoplasma pneumoniae with human lung fibroblasts was evaluated. A 60-s exposure of the fibroblasts to polyethylene glycol (molecular weight 200; 10%) significantly increased attachment of mycoplasmas to the fibroblasts.
