ε-Poly-l-Lysine/plasmid DNA nanoplexes for efficient gene delivery in vivo

The present work addresses the development and characterization of ε-Poly-l-Lysine/pDNA polyplexes and evaluation for their improved transfection efficacy and safety as compared to polyplexes prepared using Poly-l-Lysine and SuperFect®. Self-assembling polyplexes were prepared by varying the N/P ratio to obtain the optimum size, a net positive zeta potential and gel retardation. The stability in presence of DNase I and serum was assured using...
