Gene Delivery System: Non-Viral Mediated Chemical Approaches

Abstract

Nida Tabassum Khan

Employing cationic lipids and polymers, inorganic nanoparticles, etc. as DNA carriers for gene delivery systems are gaining interest with the passage of time such chemical vectors form condensed complexes or aggregates with negatively charged DNA to not only protect the DNA from nucleases but also facilitate its intracellular uptake and site specific delivery.
