(a) Linear PAAs1 was synthesized in water; (b~d) low branched PAAs2, PAAs3, PAAs4 were synthesized in mixed solution of water and DMSO; (e) high branched PAAs was obtained in mixed solution of water and DMSO at volume ratio of 1:5; (f) PAAs was modified with excess ammonia
Binding ability of cationic PAAs to DNA, electrophoretic mobility of plasmid DNA in the complexes. For different amino modified PAAs, gel electrophoresis experiments were carried out at the N/P ratios of 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, and 20 from left to right, respectively. First lane (N/P=0) in each test is used as blank experimentation. Agarose gel electrophoresis experimental result of DNA released from the compound with PAAs5-1 (a) and PAAs5-2 (b), respectively
All images were gained with complexes deposited onto fresh mica surface. Each image represents a 2 µm×2 µm scan
The cells were treated with increasing concentrations of PAAs5-2 and PEI for 24 h in serum-free medium before analysis by MTT assay
