Abstract

The terplex system for delivering DNA to targeted cells comprises three components—stearyl polylysine (PLL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and DNA. This article describes a method for optimizing the relative amounts of these components and determining the transfection parameters for a given cell line.
