Heterokaryon
A heterokaryon is a cell that contains multiple, genetically different nuclei. A cell with two separate nuclei formed by the experimental fusion of two genetically different cells. (A medical example is a heterokaryon composed of nuclei from Hurler syndrome and Hunter syndrome. Both of these diseases result in problems in mucopolysaccharide metabolism however a heterokaryon of nuclei from both of these diseases exhibits normal mucopolysaccharide metabolism proving that the two syndromes affect different proteins and so can correct each other in the heterokaryon).   MedicineNet.com
