Complexes heighten iontophoresis-mediated gene transfer to the skin
Published in Gene Therapy Weekly, February 27th, 2003
According to a study from Germany, "iontophoresis may be a potentially useful technique for the delivery of oligonucleotides into the skin. To enhance intracellular uptake during iontophoresis, we investigated the dermal delivery of oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) as a polyelectrolyte complex with polyethylenimine (PEI)."
"Perpendicular cross-sectioning was performed to visualize and quantify the penetration properties of double labeled PEI/ODN complexes across full thickness human skin," wrote C. Brus and coauthors, University...
