It has been previously shown that transfection activity of cationic liposome/DNA lipoplexes delivered systemically is drastically inhibited by lipoproteins (Tandia, B. M., Vandenbranden, M., Wattiez, R., Lakhdar, Z., Ruysschaert, J. M., and Elouahabi, A. (2003) Mol Ther. 8, 264-273). In this work, we have compared the binding/uptake and transfection activities of DOTAP (N-[1-(2,3-dioleoyloxy)pr...
