Polyethylenimine-conjugated gold nanoparticles: Gene transfer potential and low toxicity in the cornea
This study examined the gene transfer efficiency and toxicity of 2-kDa polyethylenimine conjugated to gold nanoparticles (PEI2-GNPs) in the human cornea in vitro and rabbit cornea in vivo. PEI2-GNPs with nitrogen-to-phosphorus ratios of up to 180 exhibited significant transgene delivery in the human...
