Method of delivering genes into antigen presenting cells of the skin

摘要

A molecular delivery complex specific to antigen-presenting cells is formed from a non-viral gene delivery system complexed with foreign genetic material. The complex then enters the targeted cells through a specific receptor and overcomes the degradation mechanism, so that functional uptake of the foreign genetic material, or transduction, of the cell, results in gene expression. The invention also includes a method for genetic immunization without a needle.
