Effective Delivery of PEGylated siRNA-Containing Lipoplexes to Extraperitoneal Tumours following Intraperitoneal Administration

Table 1

Quantitative analysis of the distribution of Alexa Fluor 750-conjugated oligonucleotides in tumours and major first-pass organs at 24 hrs following intraperitoneal administration in mice. Oligonucleotides were delivered using either non-PEGylated or PEGylated liposomes (LP). The fluorescent images are presented in Figures 2 and 3.
