Abstract
Phospholipase C (Clostridium perfringens) preparations are able to induce fusion of chicken erythrocytes only in the presence of low concentrations (0.6 mM) of Mn2+. Anti-phospholipase C serum inhibits hemolysis and fusion of the cells only when added during the first 20 min of the incubation time. Heated phospholipase C preparations which fail to hemolyze chicken erythrocytes are able to induce fusion only in the presence of another hemolytic reagent such as prymnesin (an hemolytic toxin from Prymnesium parvum).
