Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Delivery systems and their methods of formation are generally provided. The delivery system can protect a delivery molecule (e.g., DNA/RNA) and deliver it into a cell via serum. In one embodiment, the method can include binding a delivery molecule with polyethylenimine such that an end of the delivery molecule is exposed; capping the end of the delivery molecule with a first biocompatible polymer to form a core; and encapsulating the core with a second biocompatible polymer. The resulting delivery system can include a delivery molecule bonded with polyethylenimine such that an end of the delivery molecule is exposed; a first biocompatible polymer electrostatically bonded to the end of the delivery molecule to form a core; and a second biocompatible polymer encapsulating the core.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1. A method of forming a delivery system, comprising: binding a DNA or RNA molecule with polyethylenimine such that an end of the DNA or RNA molecule is exposed, wherein the polyethyienimine has a positive electrostatic charge, and wherein the end of the DNA or RNA molecule has a negative electrostatic charge; thereafter, capping the end of the DNA or RNA molecule that is exposed with a crosslinked polyspermine, the crosslinked polyspermine having an N/P ratio g…
