“…Systems with reduced levels of toxicity and improved transgene expression are being developed through increased understanding of the role of chemical constituents of the delivery vehicle (Liu and Reineke, 2010). Peptidic sequences have been conjugated to various nonviral gene delivery systems to improve cellular uptake , subcellular transport (Kwon et al, 2008;Moseley et al, 2010), and nuclear localization (Jeon et al, 2007;Moore et al, 2009). Based on safety and toxicity profiles, it is conceivable that these approaches may supplant viral technologies for gene delivery (Li and Huang, 2007).…”
