Long-term stability of PgP/pDNA polyplexes (N/P ratio of 30/1, 2 µg pDNA) in water at 4 °C. (A) Gel retardation assay of PgP/pDNA polyplexes stored at 4 °C for different time periods. Molecular weight marker (M, Lane 1), naked pDNA (N, lane 2), PgP only (lane 3), PgP/pDNA polyplexes at various time points during storage at 4 °C for 0, 6hrs, 1, 3, and 7 days, and 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 months (lane 4–13). (B) Transfection efficacy of PgP/pGFP polyplexes stored at 4 °C in B35 cells in media containing 10% serum. *p < 0.05 compared with freshly prepared polyplexes. (C) Representative images and (D) Flow cytometry histogram of GFP + B35 cells at 2 days post-transfection with PgP/pGFP polyplexes stored at 4 °C. Scale bar indicates 200 µm. (Fresh: freshly prepared polyplexes, W: week, and M: Month).
