  • Serpin enzyme complex receptor-mediated gene transfer
    Patent number: 6200801
    Abstract: Nucleic acids are compacted, substantially without aggregation, to facilitate their uptake by target cells of an organism to which the compacted material is administered. The nucleic acids may achieve a clinical effect as a result of gene expression, hybridization to endogenous nucleic acids whose expression is undesired, or site-specific integration so that a target gene is replaced, modified or deleted. The targeting may be enhanced by means of a target cell-binding moiety. The nucleic acid is preferably compacted to a condensed state.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 21, 1998
    Date of Patent: March 13, 2001
    Assignee: Case Western Reserve University
    Inventors: Thomas W. Ferkol, Jr., Pamela B. Davis, Assem-Galal Ziady
