A novel peptide delivers plasmids across blood-brain barrier into neuronal cells as a single-component transfer vector.

There is no data up to now to show that peptide can deliver plasmid into brain as a single-component transfer vector. Here we show that a novel peptide, RDP (consisted of 39 amino acids), can be exploited as an efficient plasmid vector for brain-targeting delivery. The plasmids containing Lac Z repo...
