To preserve the size and transfection potential of polymer-plasmid complexes. Freeze-drying and freeze-thawing were used for stabilization of these complexes. The concentration of the sugars is an important factor affecting both the size and transfection capability of the complexes after freeze-drying and freeze-thawing. However, the type of lyoprotectant (sugar) used is of minor importance. It is also shown that when damage to polymer-plasmid complexes occurs, it results from the drying process but is not due to the freezing step.
为保持聚合物-质粒复合物的大小和转染潜力,采用冻干和冻融法对这些复合物进行稳定化处理。糖的浓度是影响冻干和冻融后复合物大小及转染能力的重要因素。然而,所用冻干保护剂(糖)的类型则不太重要。研究还表明,当聚合物-质粒复合物受到损伤时,其原因在于干燥过程而非冷冻步骤。
