Targeting of cell receptors and gene transfer efficiency: a balancing act.

abstract：:We report on systemic delivery and long-term biological effects of apolipoprotein E (apoE) obtained by intramuscular (i.m.) plasmid DNA injection. ApoE plays an important role in lipoprotein catabolism and apoE knock-out mice develop severe hypercholesterolemia and diffuse atherosclerosis. We have injected apoE-defici...
