摘要:
Described is a process for delivering a biologically active compound to a cell by reversibly linking the compound to a membrane active polymer. In particular, polymer-polynucleotide conjugates are described. Methods for reversibly modifying the polymers to decrease cellular toxicity and improve efficacy are provided.
摘要:
Disclosed is a process for delivering genetic material into a mammalian cell to alter endogenous properties of the cell. The process comprises designing a polynucleotide for transfection. Then the polynucleotide is inserted into a mammalian vessel such as an artery. Prior to insertion, subsequent to insertion, or concurrent with insertion the permeability of the vessel is increased thereby the genetic material is delivered to the parenchymal cell altering endogenous properties of the cell.
摘要:
Compositions are provided for delivery of polynucleotides to cells for the purpose of inhibiting gene expression. Antisense polynucleotide-containing complexes are described. The salt and serum stability and small size of the complexes permits delivery to cells in vitro and in vivo.
摘要:
Disclosed is a process for transfecting genetic material into a mammalian cell to alter endogenous properties of the cell. The process comprises designing a polynucleotide for transfection. Then the polynucleotide is inserted into a mammalian vessel such as a tail vein or artery. Prior to insertion, subsequent to insertion, or concurrent with insertion the permeability of the vessel is increased thereby the genetic material is delivered to the parenchymal cell altering endogenous properties of the cell.
摘要:
A class of polymers for delivery of polynucleotides to cells in described. More specifically, amphiphilic polyvinylethers and compositions containing amphiphilic polyvinylethers are described.
摘要:
Polyampholyte are able to condense nucleic acid to form small complexes which can be utilized in the delivery of nucleic acid to mammalian cells. The polyampholytes can be formed prior to interaction with nucleic acid or they can be formed in the presence of nucleic acid. Stabilized polycation/nucleic acid complexes can be modified to reduce the positive charge of the polycation and add targeting ligands without destabilizing the complex. The resultant particles retain their small size and are more effective in delivery of nucleic acid to cells in vivo.

Disclosed is a process for delivering a polynucleotide to a mammalian cell to alter endogenous properties of the cell. The process comprises designing a polynucleotide, such as an siRNA, for transfection. Then the polynucleotide is inserted into a mammalian vessel such as an artery. Prior to insertion, subsequent to insertion, or concurrent with insertion the permeability of the vessel is increased thereby the polynucleotide is delivered to the parenchymal cell altering endogenous properties of the cell.
