Polymers Used in the Design of Cardiovascular Vectors

In general, the more successful polymers used in cardiovascular gene therapy are derivatives of polyethylenimine. There is also a lower molecular weight, water soluble version of this polymer. Recently, modified forms of this polymer have also become available such as the polyfamido polyethyleneimines).
