DNA ladder (lane 1); pNN9 (CCC) (lane 2); DNase I exposed pNN9 (CCC) (lanes 3 & 4); CCC/16-3-16 lipoplexes at 2:1, 5:1, and 10:1 charge ratios (lanes 5–7); CCC/16-3-16/DOPE lipoplexes at 2:1, 5:1, and 10:1 charge ratios (lanes 8–10); 16-3-16/DOPE (lane 11); DNA ministring (LCC) (lane 12); DNase I exposed DNA ministring (LCC) (lanes 13 & 14); LCC/16-3-16 lipoplexes at 2:1, 5:1, and 10:1 charge ratios (lanes 15–17); LCC/16-3-16/DOPE lipoplexes at 2:1, 5:1, and 10:1 charge ratios (lanes 18–20). Equal loading of the recovered DNA solution after DNase I exposure indicated improved DNA recovery for ministring (LCC) derived lipoplexes. DNA/16-3-16 lipoplexes conferred better DNA recovery after DNase I degradation over DNA/16-3-16/DOPE lipoplexes across all of the tested charge ratios.
