Abstract

A small interfering RNA (siRNA)-loaded polyelectrolyte constructed with branched polyethylenimine (bPEI) and copolymers, consisting of polyethylene glycol (PEG), histidine (His), and glutamic acid (Glu), was developed in order to provide a tumor acidosis-triggered delivery system with low cytotoxicity.
