Abstract
A method for artificially changing the composition of phospholipids produced by cells is disclosed. According to the method of the invention, the host cell is transformed with a recombinant DNA having an antisense gene of phospholipase D gene, which antisense gene is expressed in the host cell to produce a mRNA that hybridizes with mRNA of phospholipase D gene in the host cell thereby inhibiting expression of the phospholipase D gene.
