Application
Asialofetuin from fetal calf serum is suitable for use:
Incorporation of asialofetuin (AF) in liposomes strongly enhance delivery to and endocytosis by cells displaying the AF receptor, notably hepatocytes. This provides a very efficient route for gene therapy.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Asialofetuin (AF) binds to asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGP-R) and is employed as a ligand for drug delivery to the hepatocytes. It aids serum-resistant lipoplexes for efficient gene deliver into the HepG2 (human hepatoblastoma) cells.
Preparation Note
Enzymatic cleavage using neuraminidase
