The freezing-thawing method is used for encapsulation up to 17000 base pairs DNA into reconstituted Sendai virus envelopes (RSVE). It permits encapsulating up to 30 % of DNA added to the solution. The interaction RSVE loaded with plasmid DNA and Krebs-2 ascites tumours cells results in up to 30 % penetration of the encapsulated material into the cells.References
