Structural Alterations of Gene Complexes by Cystic Fibrosis Sputum
1 Aug 2001
Abstract excerpt
Gene complexes with optimal physicochemical characteristics for cystic fibrosis (CF) gene therapy in vitro may become inactive in vivo as a result of destruction upon interaction with CF mucus. Therefore, we examined in this study to what extent main sputum components (linear DNA, mucin, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, and albumin) may disintegrate lipoplexes. We found that mixing linear DNA with...
