May advance nanotherapeutic gene delivery for cardiovascular targets; hypothesis-generating and requires in vivo validation before clinical consideration.
A novel pH-responsive HPMA-based copolymer coating for adenoviral vectors successfully shields the vector at physiological pH and restores transfection ability in acidic environments.
Kostka et al. (2015) studied this question. pH-responsive HPMA-based copolymers vs. Uncoated virus or different pH was evaluated on Transfection ability. The transfection ability of the polymer-coated adenovirus at pH 7.4 was 75 times lower than at pH 5.4, demonstrating effective pH-responsive shielding and deshielding.
