Characterisation of three novel cationic lipids as liposomal complexes with DNA11A preliminary account of the key findings of this study was communicated in the 25th FEBS 98 Silver Jubilee Meeting, July 5–10, 1998, held in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Cationic lipids (CLs) are being increasingly exploited as transfection vectors for the delivery of DNA into eukaryotic cells. To obtain further insight to the complex formation and interactions between cationic liposomes and DNA, we characterised three novel cationic lipids, viz. bis[2-(11-phenoxyundecanoate)ethyl]-dimethylammonium bromide, N-hexadecyl-N-¿10-[O-(4-acetoxy)-phenylundecanoate]ethyl¿- dimethylammonium bromide, and...
