No matter which method is used, when cells are fused, one way to determine the presence or absence of fusion and the fusion rate is to observe it with a general light microscope. Cell fusion can only be determined by microscopic examination of a site where fused cells happen to be present. As a more reliable method,

Judgment is made based on the presence or absence of colonies.

However, even with the method using a selective medium, when the fusion rate is low, a negative result is determined if the liquid sampled and dropped onto the selective medium does not contain fused cells. Therefore, there was a drawback that the number of experiments had to be increased in order to make a reliable determination. Therefore, a cell fusion electrode that can increase the fusion rate is desirable. Alternatively, if there is a cell fusion electrode in which a region with a locally high cell fusion rate is known, the presence or absence of fusion can be efficiently determined by taking the cell fluid from that region after fusion treatment and culturing it in a selective medium. Can be done.

Since the electrode according to the present invention has a surface covered with a porous polymer membrane, cells are preferentially captured in the pores in the membrane, and the cell density on the electrode surface is particularly high. Furthermore, it is empirically known that the frequency of cell fusion is particularly high at the electrode interface. From this fact, the closest to the electrode interface (,
In addition, in the pores of a polymer membrane where cells exist at a high density, the fusion rate is high and fused cells are present at a high frequency. Furthermore, since the fused cells are captured in the pores of the polymer membrane, they can be moved together with the electrodes without falling when transferred from the cell fusion container to the selection medium. In the selective medium, the fused cells proliferate on the electrode surface and exit through the pores to form colonies.
