Asialofetuin is an asialoglycoprotein containing terminal galactosyl residues that have been used to target liposomes to the liver. There was seven-fold enhancement in CAT expression in the liver when succinylatcd asialofetuin was added to preformed plasmid/ DOTAP Chol complexes to provide a ligand for hepatic asialoglycoprotein receptor.
