Background Poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (p(DMAEMA)) can be used successfully for in vitro transfection of different cell lines, including the OVCAR-3 human ovarian carcinoma cell line. The aim of this study was to investigate whether it is possible to transfect OVCAR-3 cells in vivo wit
## Abstract ## Background Cationic lipids are at present very actively investigated for gene transfer studies and gene therapy applications. Basically, they rely on the formation of DNA/lipid aggregates via electrostatic interactions between their cationic headgroup and the negatively charged DNA.
We explored poly(4-vinylimidazole) (P4V) as a nonviral gene carrier. We show that P4V can form DNA condensates of small size (<110 nm) using a dye-exclusion assay with ethidium bromide and dynamic light scattering, and that the complexes form in a pHsensitive manner, due to the amphotericity of the
