Examples of use for SUNBRIGHT® ME-DT and DT series

  1. Examples of use for SUNBRIGHT® ME-DT and DT series

    Examples of use for SUNBRIGHT® ME-DT, DT series (PEGPAsp(DET) Block / PAsp(DET) Homo polymer) as polymericmicelles are described in following articles or reviews. The polymeric micelles are effective especially to deliver plasmidDNA and mRNA to tissue by local injection for in vivo, or to toxicity sensitive cells such as primary cells and stem cells.

Representative procedures to formulate for polymeric micelles using SUNBRIGHT® ME-DT and
DT series is described as follows.

SUNBRIGHT® ME-120DT70-A (Block polymer) and SUNBRIGHT® DT50-A (Homo polymer) powders were
separately dissolved in 10 mM HEPES buffer(pH 7.4) as stock solution. Mixture of stock solutions for ME-120DT70-A and DT50-A polymer at varying ME-120DT50-A / DT50-A ratios (residual molar ratio of amino groups in ME-120DT70-A and DT50-A) was added to pDNA solution for complexation at varying N/P ratios (residual molar ratio of total amino groups in ME-120DT70-A and DT50-A (N) to phosphate groups in pDNA (P)), followed by overnight incubation at 4℃. The final concentration of pDNA in all the samples was adjusted to 33.3 mg/mL.
Note that all the pre-experimental procedures involved with polymer solution or complex solution were strictly carried out at low temperature, e.g. 4℃ refrigerator or ice bath to avoid polymer degradation. Representative procedures to formulate for polymeric micelles using SUNBRIGHT® ME-DT and DT series is described as follows.

The block polymer and homo polymer belong NanoCarrier Co.,Ltd. is sold by NOF for research purpose only. In the case of use of the polymer for clinical test or commercial product, a contract is independently required.
