Abstract

Gene therapy has the potential to cure many different genetic diseases, if safe and effective gene delivery vectors can be developed. This chapter describes protocols for the synthesis of novel polymers using diglycidyl ether and diamine or polyamine monomers for transgene delivery and expression. The resulting poly (amino ethers) are able to transfect a higher number of cells, with lower cytotoxicity than other commercially available polymers (e.g., Polyethyleneimine, PEI).
