Résumé

Short linear peptides have a high potential for delivering various drugs with therapeutic potential, including nucleic acids. Recently, we have shown that the cationic amphipathic histidine-rich peptide LAH4 (KKALLALALHHLAHLALHLALALKKA) possesses high plasmid DNA delivery capacities. Since such peptides are thought to efficiently disrupt endosomal membranes, we have tested their ability to deliver small interfering RNA (siRNA) into mammalian cells.
