Abstract:INTRODUTIONIntravenous delivery of therapeutic genes for gene therapy has an advantage for lung tumor that is deeply located in the thorax. But there are few successful methods for intravenous delivery of genes into the lung. Several methods using viral (1, 2) and liposomal (3-7) vectors are now studied intensively for intravenous delivery of genes into the lung. Templeton et al. (6) demonstrated that DOTAP-cholesterol-plasmid DNA complex showed high affinity in mouse lung after intravenous infusion. DOTAP i… Show more
