Potentiation of monovalent cation effects on ligand binding to cardiac muscarinic receptors in N-ethylmaleimide treated membranes.

abstract：:Experimental gene transfer has permitted a wide variety of studies on gene regulation and function. However, possible effects of the introduced DNA on cellular metabolism are not well understood. Here we demonstrated that introduction of DNA into a promonocytic cell line, U937, by electroporation caused extensive cell...
