Abstract
The present invention relates to lipid-based formulations for nucleic acid delivery to cells, methods for the preparation of such formulations and, in particular, to lipid encapsulated plasmids. The compositions are safe and practical for clinical use. In addition, the present invention provides methods for introducing nucleic acids into cells and for inhibiting tumor growth in cells using such lipid-nucleic acid formulations.
