## Abstract To explore the possibility that specific characteristics of the epithelium of the male tract can be modified, transfections of the mouse vas deferens have been performed using in vivo injections of cationic DNA/liposome complexes. Gene transfer was done employing the reporter genes pEGF
ATP released by sympathetic varicosities of the mouse vas deferens binds to P2X receptors which activate fast, ligand-gated channels, resulting in depolarisation of smooth muscle cells. We examined the development of fast neuromuscular transmission at surface longitudinal smooth muscle fibres of the
