Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Current liposome-based gene delivery methods for therapeutic benefit are limited by their low efficiency. One possible way to improve gene expression is to include a peptide with a nuclear localization signal (NLS) to enhance the movement of the transfection complex from the cytoplasm to the nuclei of target cells. We have tested a synthetic peptide based on the amino terminal region of the polyoma...
