Classical pathway of complement activation in normal and diseased human glomeruli.

abstract：BACKGROUND:We developed an electroporation-mediated gene transfer method targeting glomerular mesangial cells. Injecting DNA solution via renal artery followed by electric pulses using tweezers-type electrodes could result in efficient transfection in mesangial cells. Therefore, this gene transfer system opened a feasi...
