<p>The present invention provides a composition comprising a polysaccharide to enhance transfection of a cell with a nucleic acid. The present invention also provides a method for transfecting a cell with a nucleic acid comprising the steps of forming a polyionic complex of the nucleic acid and a polysaccharide; and bringing about uptake of the polyionic complex by the cell. Preferably, the cell is selected from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, nervous system cell lines, adipose tissue stem cells, immunocytes, neurons, and chondrocytes. Moreover, preferably the polysaccharide is a cationized pullulan derivative, a cationized dextran derivative, or a cationized mannan derivative.</p> |
