Abstract

Various strategies have been attempted to design efficient protocols for ovarian cancer gene therapy but there has been little progress in their clinical application. In this study, we formulated and evaluated a new cationic liposome composed of dioleoyltrimethylaminopropane (DOTAP), 1.2-dioleoyl-3-phosphophatidylethanolamine (DOPE). and cholesterol (Chol) (DDC) for plasmid DNA transfer into ovarian cancer cells. The DOC liposome was prepared by mixing DOTAP. DOPE. and Chol using extrusion method. (omitted)
