TLDR
The results indicate that negatively charged HSA-lipoplexes can facilitate efficient transfection of cultured cells, and that they may overcome some of the problems associated with the use of highly positively charged complexes for gene delivery in vivo.

Progress in developing cationic vectors for non-viral systemic gene therapy against cancer.

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to describe the "perfect vector" for systemic gene therapy against cancer based on the advantages and disadvantages of existing vectors and on the hurdles encountered with these carriers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene delivery by lipoplexes and polyplexes

TL;DR: The interactions between the vectors and DNA leading to complex formation, the supramolecular structures of lipoplexes and polyplexes, and their mechanisms of DNA transfer are reviewed to provide a framework for the future design and synthesis of optimal non-viral vectors for gene therapy.

Cellular and Molecular Barriers to Gene Transfer by a Cationic Lipid

TL;DR: The results indicate that endocytosis was the major mechanism of entry in cationic lipid-mediated gene transfer and suggest that attention to specific steps in the cellular process may further improve the efficiency of transfection and increase its use in a number of applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanism of DNA release from cationic liposome/DNA complexes used in cell transfection.

TL;DR: It is proposed that after the cationic lipid/DNA complex is internalized into cells by endocytosis it destabilization induces flip-flop of anionic lipids from the cytoplasmic-facing monolayer, which laterally diffuse into the complex and form a charge neutral ion pair with the cationsic lipids.

Systemic gene expression after intravenous DNA delivery into adult mice

TL;DR: A single intravenous injection of expression plasmid:cationic liposome complexes into adult mice efficiently transfected virtually all tissues and most of the extravascular parenchymal cells expressed the transgene without any apparent treatment-related toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term restoration of immunity against Epstein-Barr virus infection by adoptive transfer of gene-modified virus-specific T lymphocytes

TL;DR: These findings support wider use of antigen–specific CTLs in adoptive immunotherapy and restore cellular immune responses against EBV, but also established populations of CTL precursors that could respond to in vivo or ex vivo challenge with the virus for as long as 18 months.
