Brevinin-2R-linked polyethylenimine as a promising hybrid nano-gene-delivery vector
Objective(s): Polyethylenimine (PEI) is one of the most widely used polymers in gene delivery. The aim of this study was to modify PEI by replacing some of its primary amines with Brevinin 2R (BR-2R) peptide in order to increase the efficiency of gene delivery.Materials and Methods: Polyethylenimine was modified by BR-2R peptide by two d...
متن کاملانتقال ژن به سلولهای بنیادی مزانشیمال موشی: بررسی مقایسهای دو روش ویروسی و غیر ویروسی
Background and Aims : Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are attractive targets for cell and gene therapy, because they can differentiate into many cell lineages. Hence, finding an efficient and suitable method for transferring of genetic materials to these cells is very essential. In this study, we evaluated the efficiency of two methods of gene transferring, viral and nonviral, in transfection...
متن کاملPreparation, characterization and transfection efficiency of nanoparticles composed of alkane-modified polyallylamine
Objective(s): Although viral vectors are considered efficient gene transfer agents, their board application has been limited by toxicity, immunogenicity, mutagenicity and small gene carrying capacity. Non-viral vectors are safe but they suffer from low transfection efficiency. In the present study, polyallylamine (PAA) in two molecular weights (15 and 65 kDa) was modified by alkane derivatives ...
متن کاملEffect of amine type on the expression of plasmid DNA by cationized dextran.
The objective of this study is to prepare a non-viral carrier of gene expression from the polysaccharide dextran and evaluate the effect of amine compounds introduced to dextran on the level of gene expression. Dextran with a molecular weight of 74 x 10(3) was cationized by the chemical introduction of different amine compounds. The cationized dextran was complexed with a plasmid DNA and the vi...
