Abstract
A gene transfection particle includes a polymer, a support particle conjugated with the dendritic polymer, and genetic material conjugated with the dendritic polymer. The gene transfection particles are highly efficient and are capable of delivering higher quantities of genetic materials to cells, with reduced cell damage. A gene transfection method involves bombarding cells with conjugates of polymers and genetic material, with or without a support particle.
