title: Construction of transferrin-coated liposomes for in vivo transport of exogenous DNA to bone marrow erythroblasts in rabbits.
abstract: A method for coating liposomes with transferrin is described. Such liposomes have been used for carrying exogenous DNA to rabbit bone marrow (BM) precursor cells, in vivo. A large amount of the DNA contained in the liposomes was delivered specifically into the erythroblasts of the test animals.
