ABSTRACT:
Plasmid expression systems for delivery of DNA coding sequences to a mammal are described which provide expression of human IL-2. Also described are particular lipid/DNA delivery systems having advantageous characteristics of size, charge ratio, and proportion of supercoiled DNA, and methods of preparing and using such delivery systems for treatment.
