Studies from University of Minnesota, Department of Biomedical Engineering Reveal New Findings on Vaccines

2011 MAR 23 -- Current study results from the report, 'Well-defined block copolymers for gene delivery to dendritic cells: probing the effect of polycation chain-length,' have been published. According to recent research from the United States, "The development of safe and efficient polymer carriers for DNA vaccine delivery requires mechanistic understanding of structure-function relationship of the polymer carriers and their interaction with antigen-presenting cells. Here we have synthesized a series of diblock copolymers with well-defined chain-length using atom transfer radical polymerization and characterized the influence of polycation chain-length on the physico-chemical...
