Insoluble DNA-like phosphorylated polystyrene: specific interactions with anti-DNA antibodies from systemic lupus erythematosus patients.

abstract：:Safety and high efficacy of vectors are essential requirements for gene therapy. To address these challenges, poly(carboxy betaine methacrylate ethyl ester)-poly(carboxy betaine methacrylate) (PCBMAEE-PCBMA) diblock copolymers were synthesized to form core-shell vector for gene delivery. The hydrophobic PCBMAEE segmen...
