Title:
METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND KITS FOR INTRAVASCULAR NUCLEIC ACID DELIVERY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1999033500
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
kucleic acid transfection of vascular smooth muscle cells is enhanced by the application of vibrational energy to the cells. By applying vibrational energy at frequency in the range from 1 kHz to 10 MHz and at an intensity in the range from 0.01 W/cm<2> to 100 W/cm<2>, significant enhancement of the uptake of nucleic acids into vascular smooth muscle cells can be achieved.
