Application

Thermodynamic Characterization of Polypeptide Complex Coacervation.: The research investigates the thermodynamic properties of polypeptide complex coacervation, including the role of Poly-L-ornithine hydrobromide in these interactions. This study provides insights into the self-assembly processes of polypeptides, which are crucial for designing new biomaterials (Priftis et al., 2012).

Examination of the biophysical interaction between plasmid DNA and the polycations, polylysine and polyornithine, as a basis for their differential gene transfection in-vitro.

E Ramsay et al.

International journal of pharmaceutics, 210(1-2), 97-107 (2001-02-13)

The impetus to develop non-viral gene delivery vectors has led to examination of synthetic polycationic polymers as plasmid DNA (pDNA) condensing agents. Previous reports have highlighted superiority (up to x 10-fold) in the in-vitro transfection of pDNA complexes formed by

New alginate microcapsule system for angiogenic protein delivery and immunoisolation of islets for transplantation in the rat omentum pouch.

J P McQuilling et al.

Transplantation proceedings, 43(9), 3262-3264 (2011-11-22)

Severe hypoxia caused by a lack of vascular supply and an inability to retrieve encapsulated islets transplanted in the peritoneal cavity for biopsy and subsequent evaluation are obstacles to clinical application of encapsulation strategies for islet transplantation. We recently proposed

Electrophoretic deposition of chiral polymers and composites.

Polylysine and polyornithine gene transfer complexes: a study of complex stability and cellular uptake as a basis for their differential in-vitro transfection efficiency.

E Ramsay et al.

Journal of drug targeting, 10(1), 1-9 (2002-05-09)

Gene transfer vectors formed between the cationic polyamino acid, poly-(L)-omithine (PLO) and plasmid DNA (pDNA) have demonstrated superior transfection efficiency (up to x 10-fold) compared to equivalent polylysine-based systems in-vitro. The mechanism(s) underlying this observation remains to be elucidated. We

Biocompatibility and physicochemical characteristics of alginate-polycation microcapsules.

S K Tam et al.

Acta biomaterialia, 7(4), 1683-1692 (2010-12-15)

There is a need for better understanding of the biocompatibility of alginate-polycation microcapsules based on their physicochemical characteristics. Microcapsules composed of alginate with 44% (IntG) or 71% (HiG) guluronate, gelled with calcium (Ca) or barium (Ba) and coated with poly-L-lysine
