Kinetics of Plasmid Dna and Cationic Liposome Complexation through in Line Microchannel Saxs Measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work we report the structural liposome modifications during DNA complexation using Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) technique. We obtained in situ complexation using an in line microchannel SAXS sample holder coupled to a fed-batch reactor and thus we were able to determine the electronic density profile and other liposome parameters in the presence of DNA.

The Effect of Cationic Liposomes Encapsulating pcDNA3.1+PA Plasmids on Humoral Immune Response in Mice
Background: DNA vaccines are third generation vaccines which have made promises to combat infectious diseases. Cationic liposomes are used as effective delivery systems for DNA vaccines to generate stronger immunity. Objective: Encapsulation of pcDNA3.1+PA plasmid, encoding protective antigen (PA) of Bacillus anthracis (B. anthracis) into cationic liposomes, and evaluation of its effect on spec...
متن کاملCalcium enhances the transfection potency of plasmid DNA-cationic liposome complexes.
It is shown that calcium increases the in vitro transfection potency of plasmid DNA-cationic liposome complexes from 3- to 20-fold. The effect is Ca(2+) specific as other cations, such as Mg(2+) and Na(+), do not give rise to enhanced transfection and the effect can be inhibited by the presence of EGTA. It is shown that Ca(2+) increases cellular uptake of the DNA-lipid complexes, indicating tha...
متن کاملCationic glyconanoparticles: their complexation with DNA, cellular uptake, and transfection efficiencies.
There is a need to synthesize new gene delivery vehicles that can deal with the problems of endosomal escape and nuclear entry. We propose cationic glycopolymer-stabilized gold nanoparticles as an effective gene delivery system. The cationic glyconanoparticles synthesized were revealed to be biocompatible and are resistant to aggregation in physiological conditions. The complexation of DNA to t...

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...

The charge-transfer complexation reaction between iodine and dibenzo- 18-crown- 6 (DB18C6) has been studied spectrophotometrically in chloroform solution at different temperatures. The resulting donor-acceptor complex was formulated as (DB 18C6…I )I . The spectrophotometric results , as well as the conductivity measurements, indicated that the gradual release of tiiodide ion from its contac...
