Biscarbamate cross-linked low molecular weight PEI for delivering IL-1 receptor antagonist gene to synoviocytes for arthritis therapy.

abstract：:An artificial receptor for creatinine was synthesized by the method of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP). beta-Cyclodextrin was used as a monomer cross-linked with epichlorohydrin in the presence of creatinine, which was a template for the imprinting. Different molar ratios of monomer to template were used to synthe...
