FUNCTIONALIZED DNA DENDRIMERS FOR GENE DELIVERY TO CELLS

摘要

Compositions are disclosed which comprise a DNA dendrimer having one or more DNA sequences linked thereto, the DNA sequences comprising DNA sequences encoding a polypeptide or regulatory RNA linked to DNA sequences that regulate expression of the DNA sequences encoding a polypeptide or regulatory RNA to produce an RNA coding for the polypeptide or to produce the regulatory RNA. Also disclosed are methods for treating diseases and conditions of cells by delivering the dendrimers to the cells, with subsequent expression of the encoded polypeptide or regulatory RNA.
