| Research Abstract |
Nano-scale complexes of fusion peptides to contain tumor homing peptides with plasmid DNA (pDNA) are designed as less-cytotoxic and highly target-specific gene carriers. The fusion peptide containing Lyp1 showed significant differences from fusion peptide containing F3 in cytotoxicity to MCF10A cells, and the fusion peptide containing F3 is therefore considered to be the most useful candidate for target delivery into tumorigenic cells. The target specificity of the pDNA complexes to tumorigenic cells was also found to be regulated by specific adsorption process on the cell surface.
