Branched and linear polyethylenimines (PEIs) have proven to be efficient and versatile agents for gene delivery in vitro. In addition, systemic administration of positively charged DNA/PEI complexes results in significant reporter gene expression in lungs. However, re-targeting of complexes to organ
Background Linear polyethylenimine (LPEI) with a molecular weight (MW) of 22 kDa has been described as having a superior ability to induce gene transfer compared to its branched form. However, the transfection efficiency of the polymer cannot be enhanced beyond a certain limit due to cytotoxicity. W
