Evidence for a relationship between chloroquine and complement from studies with lymphocyte mitogens: possible implications for the mechanism of action of chloroquine in disease.

abstract：:A rapid and efficient electroporation procedure has been developed for transformation of germinating conidia of filamentous fungi. Pretreatment of conidial preparations with a cell wall weakening agent, such as beta-glucuronidase, was found to be essential for successful transformation. Using the qa-2+ gene of Neurosp...
