Intracellular Delivery of siRNA by Polycationic Superparamagnetic Nanoparticles

Journal of Drug Delivery, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
The siRNA transfection efficiency of nanoparticles (NPs), composed of a superparamagnetic iron oxide core modified with polycationic polymers (poly(hexamethylene biguanide) or branched polyethyleneimine), were studied in CHO‐K1 and HeLa cell lines. Both NPs demonstrated to be good siRNA transfection vehicles, but unmodified branched polyethyleneimine ...
