Abstract
DNA complexes with naturally occurring polysaccharides, polygalactosamine or chitosan, were formed in water. Thermal profiles, CD spectrum, zeta-potentials, and cell uptake were investigated. The DNA/polygalactosamine complex showed higher cell uptake than DNA/chitosan complex did.Keywords
