[Immunology] adherent cells after fusion

[Allison]

The adherent cells look spread out, as if they might be fibroblasts. 
Not the kind of thing that can be dislodged by gentle pipetting (this I 
already see with my Sp2/0 cells and I would consider it to be normal).

I guess they are just sticky after they have been fused.  However, I can't speak to the viability issue you bring up.  The one's in the media are alive and I increase the numbers by getting more dislodged from the plastic.
