Abstract
The present invention relates to a synthetic transfection or blocking system comprising as a carrier a cationic, water soluble or water dispersable polyacrylate, a polyacrylamide, a poly(C.sub.1-6 alkyl)acrylate or poly(C.sub.1-6 alkyl)acrylamide. In addition, it relates to a method for introducing DNA fragments in target cells, comprising contacting these DNA fragments with a polyacrylate, a polyacrylamide, a poly(C.sub.1-6 alkyl)acrylate or poly(C.sub.1-6 alkyl)acrylamide, which is at least partially substituted with cationic substituents and subsequently contacting the obtained transfection system with target cells. Finally, the invention involves the use of a polyacrylate, a polyacrylamide, a poly(C.sub.1-6 alkyl)acrylate or poly(C.sub.1-6 alkyl)acrylamide, which is at least partially substituted with cationic substituents as a DNA carrier system.
