Effect of cholesterol on the transfection efficiency of DOTAP-containing lipoplexes

Pozzi D., Cardarelli F., Salomone F., Marchini C., Amenitsch H., Caracciolo G., Sapienza University of Rome, IT

Here, we have studied the effect of cholesterol on the transfection efficiency (TE) of cationic liposomes made of 1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane (DOTAP) and dioleoylphosphocholine (DOPC) in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. We held the charge of the [...]

Quatsomes: highly stable nanovesicles formed by sterols and
