Abstract
In the gene therapy. viral gene delivery systems are limited in use because of several drawbacks like host immune reactions. Hence, non-viral gene delivery systems such as cationic polymers or synthetic gene carriers are being widely investigated to overcome the problems in the use of viral vectors. We synthesized a new conjugate of polyethyleniminet carrying galactose moieties as a targeting ligand for asialoglycoprotein (ASGP) receptors of hepatocytes. (omitted)
