Property analysis was made through experiments of competitive inhibition of receptors,red blood cell hemolysis, in vitro cytotoxicity test by MTS assay and mediation of inhibitory effects of antisense phosphorothioate ODN on gene expression, etc.RESULTS: Liposome 18-gal had the desired properties of hepatocyte specificity, pH sensitivity,low cytotoxicity,and high transfection efficiency.CONCLUSION: Liposome 18-gal can be further developed as a potential hepatocyte-targeting delivery system.展开更多
