Airway gene transfer using cationic emulsion as a mucosal gene carrier

Delivery of genes to airway mucosa would be a very valuable method for gene therapy and vaccination. However, there have been few reports on suitable gene delivery systems for administration. In this study, we use a cationic emulsion system, which is physically stable and facilitates the transfer of genes in the presence of up to 90% serum, as a mucosal gene carrier.
