BACKGROUND
The type I interferon (IFN) response to DNA/cationic liposome complex, or lipoplex, has been reported in cultured cells, but little is known about the response in vivo. Studies of the… (More)
We investigated whether P-glycoprotein (P-gp) ATPase activity of Caco-2 cell membranes could be estimated by measuring consumption of ATP using luciferin-luciferase reaction, and whether the results… (More)
Macrophages are an important group of cells responsible for the inflammatory response to unmethylated CpG dinucleotide (CpG motif) in plasmid DNA (pDNA) via Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9). This finding… (More)
To improve the transfection efficiency of plasmid DNA (pDNA) into cells, various types of cationic liposome have been used to prepare pDNA/cationic liposome complexes (lipoplexes). It is well-known… (More)
Fibronectin (FN) is known to have four DNA-binding domains although their physiological significance is unknown. Primary murine peritoneal macrophages have been shown to exhibit markedly lower… (More)
