Characteristics of hyaluronic acid-poly(ethylene imine)/hyaluronic acid-poly(ethylene glycol) (HA-PEI/HA-PEG) nanoparticles. (a) Schematic representation of HA-PEI/PEG nanoassemblies encapsulated with plasmid DNA. (b) Transmission electron microscopy image of the self-assembling nanoparticles showing a spherical morphology. (c) Parting size and zeta potential (surface charge) analysis of the control and DNA-encapsulated nanoparticles. The hydrodynamic diameter of the particles was in range of 235-410 nm with a polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.2–0.3 and the surface charge was in the range of −33 to −38 mV.
