Table 1.

Luciferase activity in mouse tracheas after intratracheal administration of either BGTC/DOPE/DNA complexes or “naked” plasmid DNA

Type of vector Luciferase activity, RLU/mg protein
BGTC/DOPE liposomes
 pRSV-Luc 2.8 × 105
(range: 3 × 104 to 8 × 105)
 pRSV-LacZ 0
“Naked” DNA
 pRSV-Luc 0

Intratracheal gene delivery was performed and tracheas were harvested and assayed for luciferase activity as indicated in Materials and Methods. Data are expressed as mean relative light units (RLU)/mg of protein (n ≥ 3 with n = 7 for BGTC/DOPE/Luc complexes).
