In vitro transfection efficiency and targeting ability studies of FA-SPE-PEG. Transfection efficiency in (A) KB/F cells and (B) A549 cells by FA-SPE-PEG/pGL3 at various weight ratios (mean±SD, n=3). (C) Buffering capacity study of FA-SPE-PEG/pGL3 in KB/F cells (mean±SD, n=3). Bafilomycin A1 (200 nmol/L) diluted in DMSO were put into wells. After incubation for 10 min, transfection solution was added into wells for 4 h. Then the cells were incubated in growth medium for 24 h. (D) Targeting capacity of FA-SPE-PEG/pGL3 in KB/F cells and KB cells (mean±SD, n=3). (E) GFP expression after KB/F cells were treated with FA-SPE-PEG/GFP and PEI 25K/GFP complexes. Composite images were made by overlapping the images of the individual channels.
