NOVEL LIPOPHILIC COMPOSITIONS AND USES THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to novel co-lipids that can be used in combination with lipophilic compounds used as nucleic acid vectors, for making a nucleic-acid vector composition. The invention also relates to nucleic-acid vector compositions containing a combination of (i) a nucleic-acid cationic lipohilic vector and (ii) a co-lipid. In some embodiments, the nucleic-acid vector compositions are in the form of unilamellar or multilamellar vesicles. The invention also relates to a method for the in vitro or in vivo insertion of a nucleic acid of interest into host cells, that comprises the step of contacting said host cells with a nucleic-acid vector composition as described above.
