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:
Disclosed is a complex for providing nucleic acid expression in a cell. A polynucleotide and a polymer are mixed together to form the complex wherein the zeta potential of the complex is not positive. Then the complex is delivered to the cell wherein the nucleic acid is expressed.
摘要:
A process for delivering a nucleic acid to a cardiac tissue cell in a mammal is described, comprising introducing a composition consisting of a nucleic acid to a blood vessel, which subsequently delivers the nucleic acid to the cardiac tissue cell. The nucleic acid can be DNA or RNA or plasmid DNA or viral. This process is for purposes of gene therapy, and research.

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:
An process for the reversible modification of an amine-containing compound is described. Modification of the compound can be used to facilitate delivery of molecules to cells in vitro and in vivo or to alter interactions or activities the compounds. The described modifiers can also be utilized as cross-linkers.
摘要:
An polyampholyte is utilized in a condensed polynucleotide complex for purposes of nucleic acid delivery to a cell. The complex can be formed with an appropriate amount of positive and/or negative charge such that the resulting complex can be delivered to the extravascular space and may be further delivered to a cell.
