摘要:
Compounds and methods are provided for covalent end-labeling of polynucleotides. Incorporation of a nucleic acid affinity group improves the efficiency of reaction of aldehyde reactive groups with the nucleic acid leading to more efficient labeling.
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.
摘要:
A process is described for the delivery of a therapeutic polynucleotide to limb muscle tissue suffering from or potentially suffering from Muscular Dystrophy. The polynucleotide is inserted into a mammalian limb vessel such as an artery. Delivery efficiency and distribution is enhanced by combining injection of a solution containing the polynucleotide with the use of an externally applied cuff.
摘要:
Disclosed is expression of zeta negative and zeta positive nucleic acids or nucleic acid complexes using a dystrophin gene in a process for providing nucleic acid expression in a striated (skeletal or cardiac) muscle cell for the purpose of providing a change to the endogenous properties of the cell for cells affected by muscular dystrophy.
摘要:
Methods are described for modifying nucleic acids to facilitate delivery of the nucleic acids to cells. Compounds which interact with of modify nucleic acids are interacted with the nucleic acids within reverse micelles.
摘要:
A process and compound wherein nucleic acids can be modified with a host of molecules and maintain their ability to be expressed. A modifying chemical attachment of polyions to polynucleotides can be used to facilitate the change of tertiary structure of the nucleic acid and in some cases condensation of nucleic acids into smaller, charged particles useful in delivering the nucleic acid to a cell.
摘要:
Compounds and methods are provided for a single-pot covalent attachment of a label to nucleic acids comprising forming a covalently attachable labeling reagent for alkylating the molecule. Then, combining the covalently attachable labeling reagent with a mixture containing the molecule, under conditions wherein the labeling reagent has reactivity with the molecule thereby forming a covalent bond.
摘要:
A method of forming polymers in the presence of nucleic acid using template polymerization. These methods can be used for the delivery of nucleic acids, for condensing the nucleic acid, for forming nucleic acid binding polymers, for forming supramolecular complexes containing nucleic acid and polymer, and for forming an interpolyelectrolyte complex.
