DOTAP/DOPE ratio and cell type determine transfection efficiency with DOTAP-liposomes

Characterization of Liposomes for Cancer Cell Transfection

We have characterized a broad range of liposome formulations with varying DcChol:DOPE ratio. Subsequent addition of DcChol to liposomes increases its positive surface charge. However, loading the nuclear acids did not neutralize the overall negative surface potential to a similar extent. The liposomes were tested by transfection of DNA in living cancer cells.

Cationic Liposomes Modified with Polyallylamine as a Gene Carrier: Preparation, Characterization and Transfection Efficiency Evaluation.

Purpose: Cationic polymers and cationic liposomes have shown to be effective non-viral gene delivery vectors. In this study, we tried to improve the transfection efficiency by employing the advantages of both. Methods: For this purpose, modified polyallylamines (PAAs) were synthesized. These modifications were done through the reaction of PAA (15 KDa) with acrylate and 6-bromoalkanoic acid deri...

Transfection efficiency and intracellular fate of polycation liposomes combined with protamine.

Endosomal escape and nuclear entry are the two main barriers for successful non-viral gene delivery. To overcome these barriers, polyethylenimine (PEI) with a molecular weight of 800, conjugated to cholesterol (PEI 800-Chol) was synthesized to prepare polycation liposomes (PCLs). The effect of cationic polymers on transfection was investigated by pre-condensing DNA with these before using PCLs....
