Abstract: The present invention provides compositions, systems, kits, and methods for expression of one or more biomolecules in a subject, human or non-human mammal, (e.g., at therapeutic levels for the extended periods of time required to produce therapeutic effects). In certain embodiments, compositions, systems, kits, and methods are provided that comprise a first composition comprising polycationic structures (e.g., empty cationic liposomes, cationic micelles, cationic emulsions, or cationic polymers) and a second composition comprising expression vectors (e.g., non-viral expression vectors not associated with liposomes or other carriers) encoding one or more biomolecules of interest.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions, systems, kits, and methods for generating expression of one or more proteins and/or biologically active nucleic acid molecules in a subject (e.g., at therapeutic levels for extended periods required to produce therapeutic effects). In certain embodiments, systems and kits are provided that comprise a first composition comprising a first amount of polycationic structures, and a second composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of expression vectors (e.g., non-viral expression vectors not associated with liposomes) that are CpG-free or CpG-reduced, where the expression vectors comprise a first nucleic acid sequence encoding: i) a first therapeutic protein or proteins, and/or ii) a first biologically active nucleic acid molecule or molecules.

Abstract: Novel methods and compositions are provided for introducing a gene capable of modulating the genotype and phenotype into two or more tissues following systemic administration. The gene can be introduced into a mammalian host by way of an expression vector either as naked DNA or complexed to lipid carriers, particularly cationic lipid carriers. Multiple individual tissues can be transfected using naked DNA. Using a DNA:lipid carrier complex, multiple tissues and cell types can be transfected. The techniques and compositions find use in the palliation or treatment of any of a variety of genetic-based disorders.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for producing a mammal capable of expressing an exogenously supplied gene in cells of the airway are disclosed. Liposome-nucleic acid complexes are prepared then delivered via aerosol to the lung airway. The invention provides a direct method for transforming pulmonary cells, treat disorders of the lung, and for delivering substances systematically following expression in the lung.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for producing a mammal capable of expressing an exogenously supplied gene in cells of the airway are disclaimed. Liposome-nucleic acid complexes are prepared then delivered via aerosol to the lung airway. The invention provides a direct method for transforming pulmonary cells as a means for treating disorders of the lung as for providing a means for delivering substances systematically following expression in the lung.
