Here, the method of capillary zone electrophoresis （CZE） for the characterization of DNA and polyoL-lysine （MW 28 500） or DNA and poly-L-lysine modified with polyethylene glycol （MW10 000） complexes at various charge ratios in phosphate buffer is described firstly. During the characterization, DNA complexes can be separated into various components with different charge-to-mass ratio, i.e, components with single physicochemical property. And also the size and zeta potential of complexes were characterized by using photon correlation spectroscopy. This method is useful to characterize various complexes formed by DNA and polycations, and has the potential to separate complexes into homogeneous component for better transfection efficiency in vitro and in vivo in future.展开更多
