  • Compositions of nucleic acids and cationic aminoglycosides and methods of using and preparing the same
    Publication number: 20050019926
    Abstract: Compositions that include nucleic acid and cationic aminoglycosides and methods for their use are provided. The subject compositions are characterized by having nucleic acid complexed with a cationic aminoglycoside, where the nucleic acid is condensed. In certain embodiments, the cationic aminoglycoside is a cationic aminoglycoside antibiotic. The composition may further include one or more of: functional groups such as targeting moieties, nuclear localization or targeting peptides, endosomolytic peptides and/or one or more lipids and/or polymers, where the lipids may be provided in a manner to encapsulate the nucleic acid. The present invention also provides methods of using and preparing the nucleic acid-aminoglycoside compositions.

  • IL-12 gene expression and delivery systems and uses
    Publication number: 20020123473
    Abstract: Plasmid expression systems for delivery of DNA coding sequences to a mammal are described which provide expression of multiple coding sequences from a single plasmid. Also described are particular lipid/DNA delivery systems having advantageous characteristics of size, charge ratio, and proportion of supercoiled DNA, and methods of preparing and using such delivery systems for treatment.
