Abstract:
This work was directed at obtaining a better gene carrier to improve the effects of gene delivery. Neutral liposomes made from cholesterol, lecithin and DOPE by reverse evaporation technique were used for encapsulating DNA-HAP complex which was made from DNA and optimized HAP. The sizes of complexes and the efficiency of encapsulation were detected. The efficiency of transfection into Hela cells was shown by observation of X-gal staining and measurement of transfection efficience. The average size of complexes was 643nm, the average encapsulating efficiency of DNA in microspheres reached 11.67%. These Lipid-Hydroxyapatite-DNA complex (LHD) could be transfected into mammalian cells. The Lipid-Hydroxyapatite-DNA complex prepared by reverse evaporation technique could be applied availably in DNA delivery system, and it gave another thinking to increase the gene transfection of non- viral genetic vector.
