Characterization and functional expression of genomic DNA encoding the human lymphocyte type n potassium channel.

abstract：:Electroporation has proven to be a highly effective technique for the in vivo delivery of genes to a number of solid tissues. In most of the reported methods, DNA is injected into the target tissue and electrodes are placed directly on or in the tissue for application of the electric field. While this works well for s...
