Gene Delivery Potential of Biofunctional Carbonate Apatite Nanoparticles in Lungs

<table>Comparative retardation assay of CO<sub>3</sub>Ap/pDNA, Lipofectamine/pDNA, and PEI/pDNA. Lane1: 1 kb DNA ladder, Lane 2: 1 <i>μ</i>g uncut pDNA, Lane 3: DMEM, Lane 4: CO<sub>3</sub>Ap, Lane 5: pDNA in DMEM solution, Lane 6: CO<sub>3</sub>Ap (8 <i>μ</i>L)/pDNA; Lane 7: Lipofectamine/pDNA; and Lane 8: PEI/pDNA. The respective formulations were run on 0.8% agarose gel for 45 min at 75 V.</table>
