Abstract
⺠A novel method for the transformation of macrophages with DNA was developed. ⺠IgG-opsonized lipid-based microbubbles bearing plasmid DNA were synthesized. ⺠Phagocytosed microbubbles facilitate sonoporation of the phagosome by ultrasound. ⺠Modest transfection efficiency but well tolerated by cells. ⺠Method can be used in vitro and in vivo.
