Abstract
A method of expressing a foreign gene in cells of a mammalian organ in vivo includes the step of injecting genetic material capable of inducing desired gene products into a mammal. The genetic material is complexed to cationic liposome carriers. The genetic material is lipofected into cells of the mammalian organ. Gene expression and cellular function of the genetic material are activated to produce the desired foreign products in the cells of the organ.
