Abstract

The present invention discloses compositions useful for transfecting eukaryotic cells comprising nucleic acid complexes with peptides, proteins or protein fragments, wherein the peptide is optionally covalently coupled to a DNA-binding group, and cationic lipids useful for transfecting eukaryotic cells. Methods for the preparation of transfecting compositions and use as intracellular delivery agents and extracellular targeting agents are also disclosed.
