Abstract
Described herein are liposome complexes and the individual components thereof for intracellular and/or intranuclear delivery of substances. Methods of use of the provided liposome complexes and components are also described. Generally, the liposome complexes described herein include a non-cationic lipid, a fusogenic peptide and a substance to be delivered to the cell and/or nucleus. In some of the liposome complexes described herein, the fusogenic peptide does not contain multiple positive charges at neutral pH and above. In these liposome complexes, two additional components are used in assembling the liposome complex with DNA.
