ABSTRACT:
The subject invention concerns novel materials and methods for the delivery of substances, such as DNA or polypeptides, into cells. In a specific embodiment, substances are delivered into cells using a novel class of lipid compounds. These compounds, cationic lipid compounds having a disulfide bond, can be complexed with DNA to be inserted into a cell in gene therapy. Once inside the cell, enzymes present within the cell cleave the disulfide bond and the DNA is released.
