Galactosylated multimodular lipoplexes for specific gene transfer into primary hepatocytes

Abstract

Our findings confirm the receptor-mediated endocytosis pathway of galactosylated multimodular lipoplexes. Thus, we conclude that the fabrication of a multimodular assembly harboring a ligand without non-specific interaction with cell membranes is possible and a highly promising system to transfect other primary or cultured cells specifically through a receptor-dependent mechanism.
