ABSTRACT:
This invention herein describes pharmaceutical compositions and methods for targeted delivery of functional genes into cells and tissues in vivo. The invention discloses DNA:lipid complexes, methods of making such complexes and methods of using such complexes for facilitating the targeted delivery and entry of recombinant expression constructs into cells and tissues in vivo, and particularly delivery of such recombinant expression constructs to lung cells and tissues.
